What Coverages Are You Going To See This Week?


By FirstDown PlayBook on Sep 7, 2021

One of our hidden treasures in FirstDown PlayBook is your Coverage Beaters section. It’s actually not that hidden. You just got to the Varsity Offense sections. Choose Passing game and it is right there for your benefit.

The idea actually came to us from a high school coach several years ago. His thought was that yes formations are important because they can get a defense in certain looks or coverages. Concepts are important because they can help you attack a defense with scheme.

He said this “I go into a lot of games and I know what coverage the defense is going to be in 90% of the time.” I want an area where i can goo to find plays to beat man free or two high.” Necessity is the mother of invention and the FirstDown PlayBook Coverage Beaters section was born shortly after that.

Most of you know that we blog every day on FirstDown PlayBook. Yes, we said “every” day. Sometimes we like to go back and remind you of an earlier blog or two that you might have missed. Today we are going to link you to five older blogs that help explain the Coverage Beaters section.

Below you will find five separate links. Each one of these links will take you to a blog explaining some of the things we look for when we are attacking these specific five coverages.
