COVER 2 is a "MOF OPEN" look. COVER 3 is a "MOF CLOSED" look.
Some new books & DVD's call COVER 4 a "MOF OPEN" look. That is absolutely incorrect. Quite often PRE-SNAP = COVER 4 has MOF CLOSED depending on the align of the #2 receiver. Quite often POST-SNAP = COVER 4 has MOF CLOSED depending on the ROUTE of #2 OR #1 (if either comes inside deeper than 10 yds). EXAMPLE: Anyone who makes the critical mistake of throwing a POST CURL, or DIG route to the WR (with the TE going ANYWHERE except vertical & deep) will find the MOF CLOSED, & the WR bracketed by the Safety AND Corner (= INT)!
Cover 4 is an "unique" situation that must be categorized differently (Penn St QB Coach talked about this FACT at a recent clinic). We saw this WEEKLY in College ball (& almost as frequently in HS ball).
