Robber Coverage on 1st and 2nd Down – Kurt Tippman

This session explains the philosophy and execution of Robber coverage as a base defense to stop the run. Rooted in lessons from Virginia Tech and TCU, the approach emphasizes adding extra hats to the run fit, maintaining gap soundness, and disguising 2nd  and 3rd level looks to challenge quarterbacks. Coaches will learn how Robber coverage builds from coverage down, uses front movements to cancel gaps, and applies alignments and pressures to take away what offenses do best ensuring defenses remain tough, adaptable, and run-first in philosophy.
