Bump and run coverage Bump and run coverage is a strategy often used by defensive back s in American football in which a defensive player lines up directly in front of a wide receiver and tries to impede him with arms , hands , or entire body and disrupt their intended route . This originated in the American Football League in the 1960s , one of whose earliest expert was Willie Brown of the Oakland Raiders . Technique . This play works well against routes that require the receiver to be in a certain spot at a certain time . The disadvantage , however , is that the receiver can get behind the cornerback for a big play . This varies from the more traditional defensive formation in which a defensive player will give the receiver a " cushion " of about 5 yards to prevent the receiver from getting behind him . In the NFL , a defensive back is allowed any sort of contact within the 5 yard bump zone except for holding the receiver , otherwise the defensive back can be called for an illegal contact penalty , costing 5 yards and an automatic first down , enforced since 1978 . In contrast , under NCAA rules , contact is allowed anywhere on the field as long as contact is in front of the defender and a pass is not in the air .
