Players use this coverage as a check at the line or a call
from the sidelines.
CB will check Read Coverage if they cannot take all of
#1. Bunch (twins/trips), under-split, or pile.
CB are responsible for the outside release (negative or
positive) of #2 underneath 5 yards.
Will/Sam are not responsible to carry Wheel with #2
releasing outside because the CB will responsible for it.
W/S have to push to the Curl until Mike pushes him off.
Should the Safety not be able to cover Fade from #1
(fade, out combination) check Box.

Cover 4-Alert
Trips adjustment. No call from sidelines. Player
adjustment based on formation only.
Check is used for Cover 4 Box & Read.
Weak-Safety is Responsible for #3-vertical. If
#3 does not go vertical, Weak-Safety reads
QB’s eyes for pass and “scratch where it
itches” against run.
Mike widens his alignment relative to supporting
underneath #3 vertical & play strong B-gap.
Check the front to Under. 3 Technique is weak
for run weak-side run fits for the Will.
Play Coverage that was
called: Box or Read
While in stance the front foot’s toe are curled into the ground.
The back foot (staggered) will kick back. Slightly.
The front foot will slide/drag.
After each Kick-Slide, the Corner will be in his stance again and
ready to react to the next move of the receiver.
Corners will do this no more than 3 times.
Small steps are necessary! Bigger steps will result in poor balance
and the Corner will lose the route in the first few step putting him in
a constant out-of-phase position.
Man Coverage, Shadow will be 0-1 step. We have to win SLANTS!
After Shadow & Before
Phase
After the Shadow, the biggest concern is staying square and re-
routing the receiver.
1. Take a charge to keep leverage on receiver.
Just like basketball.
Close to a 45°
2. Off-Hand Jam and Skate
Opposite hand of direction of WR, Corner will stab him in his
chest.
Quick and fast movement. Be as square as possible to LOS.
Lockout elbow for maximum strength
Skate: step with opposite foot that jammed WR. Skating will
transition us into our phase work.
Do not reach for jam. Should the release be wider than arm’s
length get in-phase. WR re-routed himself with the release.
Cannot open hips and let WR run! We have to impede WR take
off and re-route!
Phases
Phases is the corner’s position on a receiver while the receiver
is attacking vertically. Under-thrown fades and a Pass
Interference: CB not held responsible.
In-Phase: able to see across to WR’s opposite pocket.
Over-Phase: above the receiver. Must invade running lane to
create contact and slow receiver down to get into phase.
Out-of-Phase: Behind receiver. No turning back AT ALL! All
effort. CB must run through the hands of the receiver. Red-Zone
Technique.
NOTE: I do not believe in telling the Corner to, “become the
receiver.” The reason for this is because it goes counter to
“Chaos Theory.” The last thing I want our CB to do is take their
eyes off the arbitrarily. Controlling WR means doing something
that is not natural to running form. This causes PIs. If the ball
hits the CB in the back of the helmet, I’m ok with that.
Fade Progression
1. Release: Shadow, take a charge, off-hand jam, & skate.
2. While in phase:
Long Neck: Looking at feet of WR to see break in the route.
Waxing: Hand fighting with WR while running in phase and looking at
feet for break. Keeps CB in constant contact with WR and keeps WR
at our speed.
3. Top of the route: Stack the receiver.
Hands & eyes of WR is the only time we will turn and play the ball.
Waxing arm and jerk down on the inside arm of WR.
Corner needs to lead with his outside shoulder into the path of the
WR. If jerking the inside arm prior to the stack didn't’t work, leading
with the shoulder into the chest of WR will get him out of bounds.
Turn back for the ball. If WR’s hands go up CB’s inside arm goes
through the the receivers arms. If WR’s hands are down, CB will
reach for WR’s outside arm for breakup. Make WR catch one-handed
with inside arm
Teaching Progression
Note: Balance is one of the most important aspects of this technique. Pay
close attention that weight is not in their butt. After each drill, if the CB
stumbles backward or leans behind them, their weight is bad. This will slow
them down.
Stance
Shadow 1 time and restart.
Shadow 10 yards over a line. Make sure CB not wavering and finish each
shadow into their stance. Can be done inside ladders too. Ladders help if
pad of foot is against the ladder this forces air on CB’s heels.
Shadow 2-3 times.
Shadow & take a charge.
Speed Turns off of a charge. Incorporate various footwork drills to teach
turn.
Jam:
Lockout 1 arm on the chest of WR.
5 yard zig-zag-horizontal then gain ground. Must keep hand on chest.
CB need to know the jam happens in front of them not side/overturned.
Skate: Zig-Zag 2-3 yards without hands then with hands. Need to gain
ground and transition into phase WR.
In-Phase. Drills listed plus a lot of stutter work. CB never walk anywhere on
the filed. They stutter with a partner(s) wherever they go.
Press/Shadow Drills
Shield & Jam: shake bag & when release CB must jam with opposite hand.
Releases (EDDs):
Shadow only
Shadow & Take a charge (no hands)
Shadow, take a charge, & off hand jam
Shadow, take a charge, off hand jam, & Switch back.
Shadow, take a charge, off hand jam, & Speed Turn (90° & messed up)
Shoulder-to-Shoulder: Isolates on waxing and what it is like to be in phase. CB must
start with long neck. Drills can be performed as start-then-run or no running (top of the
route) Tags to this drill:
Wax, jerk, stack WR, & INT (no running).
Wax, shoulder to chest, & play hands of WR (down or up).
Back-shoulder. CB doesn't’t turn back at all. Breakup outside arm.
In-Phase:
WR & DB start ankle-to-ankle and in their stances.
Snap of ball, CB must get into phase and begin work. Better the player adjust
the start (heel-to-heel)
Triangle Breakup: CB is 5 yards away and he & WR runs straight at ball. CB has to
breakup ball. Throw ball at WR’s arm away from CB so CB has to secure the outside
arm.
Out of phase/Red-Zone: WR starts 2 yards ahead of CB. Play through hands.
Small M for footwork.
Before or After practice: Must catch balls.
Press Bail: Pivot off outside foot & crossover run. Execute with all off-drills.
Must teach recovery!!!!
Q & A!
Special Coverage
We like this coverage because...
CB are pressed on #1 and eliminating both
offense’s outside receivers.
Sam will still have Wheel and heavy vertical support
from outside leverage on #2. He has better vision on
the play.
Mike is protected vertical by the strong-safety. We
will never ask a player to do something they
physically cannot do.
Solid coverage in the Red Zone.
Combo coverage: we can attack the offense on the
weak-side run or pass.
