I’ve used a version of Cover 4 or Quarters Coverage (click here to check out my video on Quarters) for the past season and really like the coverage. This is not your traditional Cover 4 idea – dropping both safeties and both corners to cover deep zones, in a sort of Prevent style. This is an aggressive version of Quarters Coverage which gets 9 men in the box against the run and is actually more of a variation on Cover 2 than some radical new idea.Our Quarters Coverage requires a number of checks by the Safeties, but we carry no more than 3 to 6 checks into a game. Now understand that the defensive coverage signaled in would be simply Quarters – but we have no idea exactly how we’ll be covering until the offense lines up and the safeties make their checks. Our safeties were no rocket scientists – but they were able to check two or three times in a play as the offense tried to shift and motion to confuse us.
