pass coverage

Pass coverage in football refers to how a defense organizes itself to limit the quarterback's options for passing the ball. It involves assigning defenders to specific areas or receivers to disrupt potential completions. Different coverages, like man-to-man or zone, focus on either sticking to receivers or covering specific parts of the field. The goal is to prevent the offense from completing passes, forcing them to make difficult throws or take risks. Good pass coverage requires coordination, awareness, and strategic positioning to effectively disrupt the offense's aerial attack.
