Although this may be rare, if all of the frontside receivers are covered, and the FS jumps

the Flag, the backside route is wide open for a TD!

Presnap: The QB picks a side based on the following factors:

1. Deepest CB

2. Widest flat defender

3. Best match-up

Which side should the QB throw to? How do you know?

The right side because the CB is lined up deeper than the left side CB

As explained before, all receivers run Hitches. The Hitches are all 3 steps.

# 2 receivers: if you have a LB lined up over you, run your hitch inside of him!

QB: Postsnap: Read the Flat defender and throw off of his movement. If he widens,

throw to # 2. If he stays, throw to # 1. Against Cover 3, the flat defender will be the

defender lined up over # 2.

Beware the danger players: the inside LBs when throwing to the # 2 receiver!

QB throws to the outside receiver because theflat defender doesnt widen.

This time, the flat defender widens, so the

QB hits # 2. Do you see the open window

between the Sam LB and the SS?

nearest LB

them, opening up a window to the outside.

Playside # 1: Attack the leverage of the CB. Be sure to run your hitch outside in order to

get separation and create space between yourself and # 2. Run your hitch at 3-steps.

Playside # 2: Run your hitch inside the first LB. It is critical that you get inside him to

create space and open a window for the QB to throw the ball.

Playside # 3: Run a bubble route. Open your hips and turn your shoulders to the QB.

Backside # 1 and 2: Run the backside tag called, in this case, run a hitch at 3 steps

QB: Key the flat defender. First read is the bubble route. If it is open hit it NOW. If the

flat defender widens quickly, look for the open window between you and # 1. Be aware

of the next LB inside. If the backside has no outside leverage, look to that side.

Key versus Cover 3 Danger player

No defender to get in the

throwing lane

The QB throws the backside hitch since there is no defender in the throwing lane.

This time there is a defender who

can get into the passing lane. The

The flat defender does not widen quickly,

so the QB hits the bubble in stride. It is

critical the QB hits the bubble route in stride

on his upfield shoulder so the receiver can

get yards after the catch (YAC).

The receiver will probably have to make the

CB miss in the open field.

Playside # 1: Run your hitch at 3 steps. Attack the leverage of the CB.

Playside # 2: Run a seam. Attack the inside shoulder of the defender over you. Assoon as you clear the defender turn to look for the ball. Be sure to get vertical

after you clear. DO NOT DRIFT INSIDE! If the QB throws it to you, it will be as soon

as you clear that defender.

Backside # 1 and # 2: Run the backside tag called. It this case it is a Hitch-Seam

QB: Read is again the flat defender. If he sits, backs up, or does anything but widen,

throw the hitch. If the key widens, throw the seam on a dime just past the defenders

head.

Presnap: Just like 92 Hitch, throw to the side with deepest CB first.

Why did the QB pick this

side to throw to?

Presnap: if CBs are even, then throw to the widest side.

If the CBs are even and the QB decides to

throw to the short side, it could result in an

interception.

The QB throws the seam and hits the receiver at about 7 yards. What would happen if

he waited too long to throw the seam?

Frontside # 1: Run your route right at the feet of the man over # 2. Replace his feet.

Look for the ball immediately.

Frontside # 2: Similar to the seam route in 92 Seam, attack the inside shoulder of the

man over you. As soon as you clear the man, look for the ball. Stay Vertical!

Do not drift!

Backside # 1 and # 2: Mirror tag, run the same as frontside

QB: Presnap: pick the widest side. Read the defender over # 2. If he turns his shoulders,

throw to # 1. If he drops, throw to # 1. If he stays, throw the seam on a dime. Do not

lead the seam!
