Defense
Introduction
   Important things to know about the Cover 2
    Defense:
     Most teams in our league use a basic Cover 2
      defense.
     Most QBs in the league are well versed in the
      weak spots of a Cover 2 defense.
     Very Flexible defense – can be quickly tailored to
      adapt to a particular offensive scheme.
Base Play




 4-2 Defense
 Strong vs Short Routes and Patterns
 Side Balanced
Cover 2 Base Alignment




 CB’s should align approximately 6 yards
  from the sideline.
 LB’s should align approximately 6 yards
  from the CBs and each other.
Cover 2 Proper Alignment




   These alignment shifts should be subtle, and not
    create large gaps in the defense.
       LBs and CBs evenly spaced between WRs.
       Strong side WRs are bracketed by LB and CB.
       Weak Side Safety is aligned inside of the slot WR.
       Strong Side Safety is aligned over the top of the slot WR.
Bracketing the Strong man




   Regardless of where the Strong side
    WR lines up, the defense creates a
    bracket on either side of the Strong Side
    WR, and the WR they lineup next to.
Front Line Depth




 CBs and LBs align 5-7 yards from the line
  of scrimmage.
 CBs and LBs can drop up to 15 yards from
  the line of scrimmage - more if necessary.
The Balance of a Cover 2




   Most of the time, either the Center or a
    Strong Side WR will cross to the Weak
    side creating a 1:1 ratio.
Weak spots of a Cover 2



 3 general weak spots on the field.
 Susceptible to Floods. When the Center
  or Strong Side WR don’t cross run to the
  Weak Side, there is an uneven balance
  on the Strong Side.
Strengths of the Cover 2



   It exploits weaknesses in             Short Yardage Situations
    QBs                                     The Cover 2 allows for 4
     Shorter QBs have trouble               constant defenders to play
      seeing the middle weak                 in the front 15 yards
      spot.                                  maintaining at worst a 2:3
     The deep outside zones                 defensive ratio, where
      requires the QB to have a              Robber and Bandit both
      really strong arm, or a lot of         evolve to a possible worst
      time to throw, to exploit.             case 1:2 ratio – One
                                             Defender vs. two
                                             Receivers.
Common Weak Side Route
Patterns




   It is likely they will try to stretch the CB
    back and run a route underneath him, or
    they will try to draw the Safety away
    from the sideline, and then throw over
    the CB on a double move.
Coverage for Common Weak
Side Routes




   The Weak side Safety’s #1 priority is always
    the deep sideline threat.
   CBs are taught to always stick with a WR that
    is trying to catch them with a double move.
   LB always picks up the most inside WR on the
    Weak Side.
What if it looks like a flood, but
isn’t?




   The Center runs to the Strong side
    appearing to cause a flood, but a Strong
    side WR goes back to the weak side
    evening out the balance of the field.
Coverage for Apparent
Floods




   The Weak side LB controls the
    balance, and if the Center goes to the
    strong side the LB moves inside until
    they find and pickup a crossing WR.
Common Strong side Route
Patterns




   Assuming the Center goes to the Weak
    side and creates a balanced attack, the
    Strong side generally is in some form of
    a trips alignment.
Coverage for Common Strong
side Route Patterns




 Strong side LB always needs to get good depth on his
  drop, and look for a slot or Wideout crossing at mid depth.
 Strong side Safety always has the deepest threat.
 Strong side CB always has a WR on a double move, or a
  flats attack once they’ve released their WR to the Safety.
What if they flood?



          Flood                Delayed Flood

   Either the Center going to the Strong
    side, or a Weak side WR crossing to the
    Strong side, causes a flood (greater
    than 1:1 ratio).
Cover 2 Flood Coverage



           Flood                 Delayed Flood
   Weak side LB moves inside to provide
    support.
   Weak side CB moves inside to provide
    support.
   Weak Side Safety picks up the uncovered WR
    on the back side of the play.
Recap
   Maintain 4-2 alignment, with LBs and CBs still
    evenly spaced.
   Front line of defenders need to drop up to 15
    yards.
   By design there are 3 holes in a Cover 2, and
    its susceptible to flooding.
   The Cover 2 is amazingly flexible, and can
    form uniquely to various styles of Offense.
   Weak side LB controls the balance of the play.
   Weak side CB and Safety need to key the
    Weak LB so they can adjust coverage
    accordingly.
