Coverages

Cover 0

Man coverage with no deep safety, almost always paired with a blitz.

Cover 0 is man coverage across the board with nobody deep. Every defender not covering is rushing, so the quarterback must get the ball out before the pressure lands.

It creates the shortest possible time to throw and the biggest possible plays if the throw is on time.
