One very prominent weakness in quarters coverage is the vulnerability of the deep quarters along the sidelines if the corners are severely outmatched by opposing receivers. In the three conference games from Ash’s 2019 campaign, this weakness gave rise to most of the points they gave up. These games were like watching opposing teams’ highlight tapes as corners repeatedly got burned for deep touchdowns. It even happened in the above example, where the outside corner simply stops running on a double move and is torched for a 53-yard touchdown.
