We Cant Stop Dual-Threat QBs

Cover 3 may be the best HS coverage possible. Cover 1 probably holds the crown as the best overall coverage, if you have the cats to run it. Cover 3 just answers all the questions, while being simple to understand, run, and problem solve with.

On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain are covering the fundamentals of Cover 3, simplifying your coverage package, solving all the weaknesses, and making Cover 3 look complicated.

Simplified Coverage Package

  • Many Coaches don’t believe the "Country Cover 3” will work at their level of ball
  • Simplicity of the defense allows you to add to the details as needed
  • Cover 3 has very few Break Points, especially compared to Match schemes.

Solve Cover 3’s Biggest Weaknesses

  • 6 underneath zones, 4 underneath droppers
  • 4 deep zones, 3 deep droppers
  • Can Cover 2 be the “off coverage” instead of Cover 1?

Make Cover 3 Look Complicated

  • “Make it look like what it ain’t”
