Coach Clint Hartman has put together a fantastic video of an under-utilized coverage against modern offenses - the Cover 2. The Cover 2 is a team coverage that doesn’t put anyone on an island and keeps everything in front of you. In its essence as a system, learning the Cover 2 allows for the basics of defensive football that allows everyone to be successful!

Rules of Cover 2, Combinations

Coach Hartman equips you with the base rules of the Cover 2 and teaches a high level of football that many college programs teach. Getting your players on board is essential, and the fact that it is employed across the board at the college level helps with player buy-in and familiarity.

Coach Hartman dives into 2x2 Routes vs Match Cover 2, Route Combinations and Cover 2 into the Boundary.

Benefits of Cover 2

Hartman covers many facets of this versatile defense that make it particularly intriguing and beneficial to employ, including:

Cover 2 allows the defense to face any offense with very little change
Cover 2 is a team coverage that helps underneath players to play fast
Most teams don’t run Cover 2 as a base coverage which can put the opposing offense into trouble because they are not used to it.
You’ll learn how to cover popular high school offensive formations better
Learn to cover multiple bunch sets - this helps with quick in and out routes
You’ll learn how to play coverage in the boundary
And, how to cover the backside from trips

Coach Hartman has put together a terrific video for coaches familiar with Cover 2 who want to increase their teams’ tools in their tool box and an insightful introduction for those coaches wanting to learn some new wrinkles for growing their defensive coverage philosophies and IQ.
