Cross-Key Quarters: Defending Condensed 12 Personnel Sets

Teaching Safety post-snap hinge reads and Edge "Grab-Me" technique against double slot Split-Zone play-action.

Running split-field Quarters against condensed 12 personnel sets can quickly blind your Safeties and compress your defensive umbrella. In this clinic, I break down how Oregon uses a "Will 4" concept to cross-key Safeties post-snap and bracket deep curl dropouts behind a play-action Split Zone. Learn how to marry Edge "Grab-Me" techniques with backend triangle spacing to eliminate popular Cross-Country routes and keep your Base 3-4 sound.
