Double Digit Coverage System

The Huskies Double Digit coverage system allows our defense to play the best coverage based on the Shade of the Defense and Offensive Formation. This system also allows the coverage to be changed vs. Change of strength motion without changing the front.

There are four ways to determine which Digit will be played.

1. When playing STRONG / WEAK Fronts the call will be tagged with the word MO to allow the Coverage to change.

MO = 1st Digit is played vs. ALL Formations.

Check to 2ND Digit ONLY vs. Change of Strength Motion

Example: STRONG 43 MO

= Cover 4 (1st Digit) vs. ALL Formations

= Cover 3 (2nd Digit) ONLY vs. Change of Strength Motion

2. When playing CLOSED / OPEN Fronts no tag words will be used.

1st Digit is played to all PRO Formations

2nd digit is played to all TWINS / SLOT Formations.

Example: CLOSED 47

= Cover 4 (1st Digit) vs. PRO Formation

= Cover 7 (2nd Digit) vs. TWINS / SLOT Formation.

3. When playing FIELD / BENCH Fronts the call will be tagged with the word CHECK to allow the Coverage to change.

CHECK = 1st Digit is played vs. Pass Strength to the FIELD (Husky Call).

Check to 2ND Digit ONLY vs. Pass Strength Away from the Husky Call (FSL).

Example: FIELD 4 CHECK 3

= Cover 4 (1st Digit) vs. Pass Strength to the Field (Husky Call).

= Cover 3 (2nd Digit) vs. Pass Strength Away from the Husky Call (FSL).

4. When the coverage Digits are Mirrored (33) we will play a 4 under, 3 Deep Rotated Zone coverage to all formations Regardless of Motion. Tag words will be added to determine the direction of the Rotation.

X = Rotation away from Pass Strength.

Z = Rotation to Pass Strength.

Y = Rotation to the Closed Side (TE).

SPLIT = Rotation to the Open Side (SE).

SHORT = Rotation to the Short Side (Away from the Husky Call).

Coverage Digits

Even Digits are 2 Deep or , , Coverage.

Odd Digits are Rotation Coverages

5

7

Double Digits with Front

STRONG = Even to Odd (MO)

WEAK = Odd to Even (MO)

BIG = Even (PRO) to Odd (SLOT/TWINS)

OPEN = Odd (PRO) to Even (SLOT/TWINS)

STRONG: Front is set to Pass Strength.

Play 1st Digit to All Formations.

Play 2nd Digit Only vs. Change of strength Motion.

Coverage call will be tagged with the word MO.

DROP OLB is to the Front Call.

RUSH OLB is away from the Front Call.

ILB to the Ringo/Lucky call (Pass Strength) is off #3.

ILB away from the Ringo/Lucky call (Pass Strength) is off #2.

WEAK: Front is set to Single Receiver.

Play 1st Digit to All Formations.







BIG: Front is set to the TE.

Play 1st Digit to PRO.

Play 2nd Digit to Slot/Twins.

Pro Doubles = 2nd Digit

Possible Check SOLO vs.1 Back.

No Tag words will be used with coverage.





OPEN: Front is set to the SE.

Play 1st Digit to PRO.

Play 2nd Digit to Slot/Twins.

Pro Doubles = 2nd Digit
