The Art of X Show: Re-designing Cover 6 & Tampa 2

[@mjciavola]

Very thorough job on these new trends. A former NFL qb was skeptical when I told him that playing Cover 2 (Cloud) to the passing strength side is getting more common.

[@MatchQuarters]

Appreciate it! Definitely a trend to keep an eye on.

This vid helped me understand why one would call Cover 2 to the passing strength with the Quarters away. Very insightful, I like it

[@MatchQuarters]

Appreciate it!

Coach, could you describe the rules for the safety playing "Trix" coverage? In fact, if you could go over the reads and coverage responsibilities for the 3 defenders on the "Trix" side, please.

[@MatchQuarters]

TRIX = Solo/Poach. The CB & ILB are essentially "locked" on their man & the Safety will take the vertical of #3. If #3 doesn't go vertical, the Safety will find work (close the post). Here is an article on Solo: matchquarters.com/defending-3x1-formations-solo-coverage/

Thank you so much!!

[@EvanRothfeld-f6u]

if you have doubles pro down (y off away from two receiver side) and the two receivers are to the boundary, would u put the sam towards the FIB? or set him towards to the Y off? also, how do you tell that boundary safety whether you want him to poach/solo, have him be apart of run fit, or double the backside #? 4-2-5 has somewhat weakness towards the boundary corner/safety and i feel like there is a lot of burden on that BSafety

[@MatchQuarters]

Most at the higher levels travel the Ni to the passing strength.

The squat corner has what type of run support rules?

[@MatchQuarters]

Technically it would be Cloud (CB) force. He'd fall off & play outside-in.

[@williethornton5563]

One more question...Let's say the Stud receiver is on the single receiver side of 3 x1 and we are squatting to that side and quarters to the trips side. If the 3-speed goes vertical whose responsibility is he? I hope that makes sense.
