Overview

The Cover 6 tag collects every split-field coverage call in the game: Quarter-Quarter-Half, where one side plays two-deep Cover 2 and the boundary rolls into Cover 4 (or the reverse, depending on the shell). Spanning 8 formations, 38 sets, and 58 plays, from Nickel and Dollar to 3-3 Over, Single Mug, and Tite Leo, this tag covers variations like Cover 6 Press, Cover 6 Trap, and Cover 6 Invert that change how the flat and deep defenders pattern match. Filter by this tag when you want a defensive shell that takes away a boundary go route with the quarters side while still cheating a hard corner to the field, and when you need calls that look identical pre-snap to your Cover 3 and Cover 2 shells.
