Any robber coverage coaches out there?

What robber scheme are you interested in? The way Va Tech plays robber? The way Temple plays robber? There is also a way to play robber(from an 8-man front) which is similar to the way all the 4-3 guys play it.
Some coaches use robber to mean man-free with a low hole and a high hole player. Please advise.

Both Temple and Va Tech play the base robber coverage the same; the difference is in what they do to one-back sets.
BASE ROBBER-C'are 9-10yds deep and inside shade of WR. they are responsible for the fade, the post and the flag. FS is about 9yds over the 2-rec. side tackle. On the snap the FS reads #2. If #2 goes vertical, the FS take him man. If #2 goes to the flat, the FS looks for #1 coming inside on a curl, post or dig. If #2 goes across the formation, the FS will go with him for two steps; if #2 continues across the formation, the FS will look for a crosser. If #2 turns up, the Fs will lock on. The OLB's are curl/flat players and must run with a wheel route. The LB's read the backs; if the back flares, the LB will fly to curl. If the back comes through the LOS, the LB will take him.

Vs twins, Temple will play the FS and the strong C in man or a 2-deep pattern-read. The backside C(to the solo TE) will play the TE the same way as the FS does in robber.

Vs 1-back sets, Temple will play man-free. They sometimes will stay in robber by playing robber to one side. On the other side, a LB is responsible fo controlling #2 and the C on that same side will playmore of a traditional zone (staying between #'s 1 and 3). The LB makes a "stress" call do execute this.

I have talked with the Def. Coor. and DB coach at Temple; they told me that the reason they went to this scheme is to STOP THE RUN. They are going to put a ton of bodies in the box and force the offense to throw the ball. This scheme is not the best vs the pass, but it stones the run.

American Football Monthly has two good articles on Robber coverage. One is by the DB Coach from Temple and I am not sure of the other because it is in the new issue (coming out this month) and I have not received it as of yet. My Head Coach received a free copy of it as a promo that is how I know it is coming out. They have a web site americanfootballmonthly.com but I think you need a pass word. Leave an email and I will try and get back to you.
