About this video
Todd Quick's 4-2-5 defense zone coverages give an aggressive front the coverage structure it needs behind it. Coach Quick details the Robber, Cover 3 and Cover 2 looks he ran at Lufkin High School, where the 4-2-5 produced an 11-1 season and a No. 22 finish in USA Today's final national poll. Every coverage matches up and plays against both one-back and two-back offenses.

About the coach
Todd Quick coordinated the defense at Lufkin High School in Texas, where his philosophy of pressure on the quarterback and a 4-2-5 structure produced an 11-1 season and a national top-25 ranking.
This session goes hand in hand with Coach Quick's base 4-2-5 Defense video, which installs the fronts these coverages play behind. Runtime: about 53 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Which coverages are in The 4-2-5 Defense - Zone Coverages?
Robber, Cover 3 and Cover 2 as Lufkin ran them from the 4-2-5, along with the alignments the secondary uses against 1-back and 2-back personnel.
Do I need the base 4-2-5 video first?
It is strongly recommended. Coach Quick built this session to pair with The 4-2-5 Defense, and the coverages assume you can already line up in the base fronts; high school and college secondary coaches in any four-down scheme will still get the Robber and Cover 2 teaching.
