Cover 6

Quarter-quarter-half

Cover 4 rules to the passing strength, Cover 2 rules to the weak side — built for unbalanced formations.

When it applies

Against trips and bunch sets where the strength is obvious.

+ StrengthsStrength gets double coverage; weak side keeps two safeties.
− Trade-offsRotation is complex — one miscommunication is a busted coverage.
