Position of the Defensive Backs in the 6-2 Defense

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Sean Hobson for Expert Village. What we're talking about right now is when lined up in a 6-2 defense, the big responsibility falls on the shoulders of these defensive backs. We're going to have two quarterbacks up playing man to man coverage on the outside. Sometimes we're going to have to use a linebacker to come up and cover on the outside as well. We have one deep safety back. This guys got a very important job, and that job is to not let anybody back here in this area. The main reason we're running a 6-2 is we want to get up in the box. We want to get good pressure and make a stop against the running game. We're hoping that they're not going to pass it deep enough so that this guy comes into play. So, first responsibility is that this guy got man to man coverage on the outside, and that this guy is helping where ever the ball goes. We also may have to bring our linebackers up a little bit too. But they've got big responsibility, man on man coverage. They have got to do their job in order for the 6-2 to work."
