Why the NFL Loves Cover 6 (The Best of Both Worlds)

A deep dive into the X's and O's of Cover 6 and its sister coverage, Cover 8, to see why the Vic Fangio system has exploded in popularity throughout the NFL. In this clinic, I talk about: The Fangio system has led a two-high revolution in the NFL since 2020. Cover 6, or Quarter-Quarter-Half, builds a ‘box’ coverage to the passing strength. Defenses use Cover 6 to create a ‘zone double’ to target an offense's best receiver. Cover 8 is the sister coverage that flips the scheme, putting Cover 2 to the strong side, or passing strength. Modern usage of this traditional scheme is designed to disguise coverages and confuse quarterbacks post-snap.
