Trap Coverage

7 Formations23 Sets23 Plays

Overview

The Trap Coverage tag identifies defensive calls that bait an outside throw by showing soft coverage, then jump the route with a trapping corner or safety, most often the 2 Trap and Cover 6 Trap family found in Nickel, Dime, Quarter, Big Nickel, 4-2-5, 4-3, and 3-4 personnel. Across 23 sets ranging from 3-3 Over and Over G to Single Mug and 2-4 Dbl Mug, these plays hand the flat defender a squat assignment while a deep defender caps the sideline, turning hitches, curls, and out routes into pick opportunities. Filter by this tag when you want disguise-heavy shells that punish flood and out-breaking route combos, and pair the calls with mug looks so your pre-snap presentation matches your man and blitz shells before you user the trapping defender.
