FirstDown PlayBook Coverage Beaters


By FirstDown PlayBook on Jan 23, 2022

The Coverage Beaters section of FirstDown PlayBook is one of our most used areas in our digital football playbook. This is totally understandable though because here at FirstDown PlayBook we know that football coaches do not all think alike. Particularly when it comes to the passing game.

One coach has his brain wrapped around what formations he can get into that will get him the defense and coverage he wants.

Another coach is all about running the same passing game concept out of as many different formations as they can. This is so that his quarterback and receivers have minimum learning.

Finally there is the coach we want to highlight today. This coach gets right to the core of the matter by saying “I know I am going to get quarters coverage 83% of the time. Get me to plays that attack that coverage”.

7on7 Help? Let Us Count The Ways…

FirstDown PlayBook’s Coverage Beaters section does exactly that. When you use the Coverage Beaters section you can choose from five different coverages you want to attack. Here is how we organize this for you:

Cover 1: Man Free Coverage

Cover 2: Zone Coverage With 2 High Safeties

Cover 3: Zone Coverage With One High Safety

Cover 4: Quarters Coverage

Cover 6: Quarters Coverage Strong With Cover 2 Weak

Over the next several weeks we will take a deeper dive into how we attack each one of these coverages. As we begin to get into the serious part of 7on7 season, this is exactly what you will be looking for.
