All About Cover 2 in a Nickel Package

Video Transcript

"I'm Billy Kid, here at Expert Village. We?re going to talk about the nickel defense. The cover two, what you've determined is that you're going to take these two safeties and they're going to play halves of the field. They're going to take two halves. Ones half, seconds half, cover two and underneath you're going to take you're personnel, your corners and your nickel back in conjunction with your line backers and you're going to play some type of coverage where you're going to man up on these receivers. You could draw just exactly a man to where he's going to cover him, he's going to cover him, he's going to slide out and take this one. He's going to take this one and this one is maybe going to slide in so he can cover that back. These are the only people that are eligible on the offensive side of the ball to go out for a pass. So, we've got them all covered right now. Maned up with these defensive backs and line backers and playing over the top with cover two, with these safeties for anything that gets deep."
