    DOUBLE COVERING A RECEIVER-UP AND BACK

    This method of double coverage on a receiver assigns 2 defenders to deny the


    receiver the ball. One defender is assigned to a trail position directly behind the
    receiver, and is expected to mirror the receiver’s break into the passing lane
    between the quarterback and the receiver. This underneath defender overplays/
    expects all shorts routes. The second defender will always be “over the top” on
    deeper routes, anticipating a tipped pass by the underneath defender or an
    overthrow by the quarterback.
