In this 30 min clinic from MatchQuarters, learn the intricacies of installing 2-Read coverage. Some refer to the coverage as Cloud, Palms, or just Cover 2, but there is more to the coverage than just breaking on out routes. MQ discusses how to install the coverage and the pedagogy behind it.

Do you press from your Palms? why or why not
Yes. It is a tag. Punch with the outside hand and wall the sideline. Keys to the slot once we clear the press. No outside releases.
What do you tell your guys if they get the wide splits by the #1 and #2 WRs in this coverage?
Check to Sky (Quarters).
Thanks very much.
Anytime!
