About This Play/Drill

In "3" defense Player Positioning Part 2, you can see there are a couple of ways to cover the corner pass.  If your team is less athletic but has some length, you may want to play passing lanes and not trap.  If you have quickness and athleticism, you may want to trap more.  Both coverages are shown in the diagram as well as slides after pass out of the corner.
