Cover 6 Defense is more widely known as Quarter-Quarter-Half Coverage. It is primarily used as an adjustment to trips formations and it’s going to be the subject of our deep dive in this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast.
The Cover 6 Defense is a combination coverage between Cover 4 and Cover 2. There are many ways to run Quarter-Quarter-Half Coverage. It largely depends on what your base coverage is and we’ll be breaking that down.

You should always find an open receiver in Curl Flat against Cover 3. Continue reading “Curl-Flat Passing Concept | FBCP S08E06”
