What is Cover 6 Rate?

Cover 6 rate is the percentage of a defense's coverage snaps played in a split-field shell, with quarters coverage to one side of the formation and Cover 2 to the other. Defenses use it to apply different rules to the strong and weak sides of a formation, often to take away one specific receiver or leverage a hash mark.
