Default In my experience, the way to...

beat Cover Corners is based on the rule set. Some rules allow the same amount of time for both offense and defense to set. In those type of situations, it is less difficult to beat the cover corners.

In rulesets where the defense gets 10 extra seconds, it is difficult but not impossible. See some people think that we play in a "Utopia brand" of football where the play works exactly as you draw it up. I venture to guess that when a coach draws up a play on the chalkboard, it rarely ever works as plan. If that happens, the score would be 1002 to 1001. So even in individual matchups, people think that players from one side of the ball should succeed on every play and vice versa for the other team.

Well, my experience tells me, that if you can get a wide receiver off the line 10 times during the course of a game where you get in 100 plays, that's more than sufficient to have opportunities to go up the field for big yardage.

So expecting the CC to get beat on most plays is not fair to the defensive team either. However, it can be done. It is so easy to beat press coverage that it's scary!

I've got the best cover corners and I will show you in a short video of
1: A dominate cover corner and then,
2: A dominate cover corner being beat on every play in press coverage.

Give me a minute. A lot depends on your perception of the game and how creative you get in playing the game.
