How to Get the "Field" to Fit Your Computer Screen
What the Coverage Simulator Will Do - The coverage simulator is a tool to help your QB
develop the decision making processes needed to identity open receivers during a pass play. It
is designed to create random coverage drops every time you click on the "QB" button to
simulate another play. The coverage simulator is an applicable QB learning tool whether your
passing system utilizes progressions, reading defenders post-snap, or a combination of both.
There is a simulator for a Cover 2 Shell and a Cover 3 Shell. If you have any questions or
comments please direct them to me at:
