Warrior General Games

I am an relatively new O. Coordinator and I would just like some pointers on how to bear a Cover 2 defense...

The team in question runs a cover 2 in on all downs and to be more specific:

Runs a 4-3 Cover 2 against Pro Set, Strong I, Weak I, and I Formation
Runs a 4-2-5 Nickle Cover 2 against Single Back and Shotgun
Runs a 4-1-6 Dime Cover 2 against Shotgun 5WR

Any pointers?

Passes to the deep middle of the field, likely to the TE.

Speed TEs murder the cover 2.

pretty much

Run offtackle, run tight end post over the middle... short passes over the middle can really kill the cover 2, since its designed more to stop deeper passes that go to the outside... if you wanna have fun, just run these 2 plays:

Nice D (ha) if you can pick them off that easily and categorise every formation that well.

This hurt my team on our only loss. Next time I will learn my lesson and mix it up a little more.
