8 Route:8 Route:

““CREASE”CREASE”•The “Crease” is a FASTBALL route that attacks the underneath part of a defense with lightning speed! It compliments our ‘4 route’ because it allows us to hit a man on the move when flat coverage overplays and widens too far! •The basic idea is to hold the #2 LB with a ‘Glancing Drag,’ expand the flat player with the threat of an Arrow or Flat, and open up a ‘Crease’ between the two defenders! If the Flat defender doesn’t expand, we should be isolated on the outside with the Mini-Comeback!

•The ‘Long’ backside rule (Lookie Post/Quick Post) gives the QB a ‘late’ option on the play so he doesn’t have to make a perfect throw on the frontside! •We have several slight adjustments (‘Tags’) we can use to help the spacing or give the outside receiver different ways to win on the outside!
