Let us take a look at some defensive coverages. We are going to first take a look at cover three. Cover three is a base zone coverage where three defenders, one two, and three are all responsible for deep thirds of the football field or the top thirds of the coverage.
So this corner here has this third of the field deep, free safety has the middle third and the corner has the left third of the field. We have four linebackers underneath. They are responsible for the underneath coverage so we have four under and three deep. These players will also divide the field into zones each protecting or covering about a quarter of the field.
Four under, three deep zone.
