Best Answer

When the defense matches up with the offense in a way where one defender runs around with one offensive player. The defender basically has no help from any of his teammates in running with (covering) the offender. Usually, big plays happen in Man coverage.

What is quarter coverage in football?

Zone coverage can be simple or very complicated. Basically, if a defender is in zone coverage he is defending a predetermined area until he is needed in another part of the field like after the ball is thrown or a ball carrier is on a different part of the field. The difference with man coverage is that the defender who is in man coverage stays in close proximity to a particular offensive player instead of an area of the field.

When the defensive is playing with their safeties deep and have man to man pass coverage, the offensive has a great advantage if they have a quarterback who can run. That's because in the defensive set, no one is covering the quarterback. Well that's fine if the quarterback is not a running one. If he is a runner, then no one is guarding him and he has plenty of room to run for good yardage.
