Applying 3 Universal Coverage Principles in a Multiple Split Field Robber System: Bridgewater College (VA) is a 100-mile stretch from Blacksburg, so the Robber coverage system roots still run deep through Route 81 South. The Eagle’s defense is built on “route ownership” and has become a Robber, man-match outfit on more than 80% of snaps the last three seasons. The coverage structure is built on funneling receivers from inside-out, not outside-in alignments to keep vertical threats out of the middle of the field, which has allowed them to play Robber concepts to open sets without having to roll safeties, including in its pressures. But to this, defensive coordinator Mike Giancola ditched the trite “flat, hook/curl, hash” zone language for aggressive action terms like steal/sluff, rob/carry, apex/overlap which are taught to every defender at the second and third levels. The linear shift in language has significantly helped in teaching split field coverage carryover with universal application for up to 14 base and pressure coverages in the Eagles system.
