5 Route:
“BEND”
•The 5 Route is a form of a “Flood” pattern that is used to
overload zone coverages, but is also useful against Man
coverage as well!
•A “triangle” is created to stress the defense both vertically
and horizontally with a Go route (outside receiver), a Bend
route (inside receiver) and an Arrow route (middle receiver).
The result of this triangle, if we space ourselves properly,
is that 2 defenders are forced to cover 3 of us!
•Spacing is the key! The Go must create width with a wide split, and then push the top
off the defense by clearing out full speed! The Arrow must also create width quickly
and force a decision by the underneath coverage! The Bend must use a short split
and good angles to work into voids!
•This is a tremendous route to convert 3rd and long situations…it is also useful at
certain times in the outer to middle portions of the Red Zone!

KEYS to a successful play: TAGS/VARIATIONS

•SPACING!!! (See above) •“Press” (90)
•The QB must be willing to drill the Arrow quickly if it opens! This •Motion to
will open the rest of the route up! •42-43 Play Action.
•The right type of release, leverage, and break by the “Bend”! He •Squeeze concept
must have a great feel for the defense and how to beat it!

FS INS:
INS: BEND.
BEND. Tighter split, push vertically, get defender on your inside hip, and break outside at 10-12 yds. The type of
break depends on the coverage you feel. If you’re being chased (Man), make a quick stick inside, & a sharp break outside. If
you feel people dropping (zone), make a controlled roll out of your break into the dead part of the zone, about 15-18 yds
deep.
FS MID: ARROW.
ARROW. Attack defender’s outside shoulder, break downhill off 2d/3d step, gain depth.
depth. Look for ball quickly!
FS OUTS: GO CLEAR.
CLEAR. Outside release, accelerate vertically along the bottom of the numbers, must clear your area!
QB: 3-step progression to the Arrow on time. Rip it through his outside shoulder if he gets any clean air at all. If the short
defender runs with him, a void should open up for the Bend. See whether he’s being chased, so you know what type of throw
to make on your 5th step. Work BS Seam Read as your 3rd option..

PRESS. Take your best release and get vertical immediately, push to 6 yards and snap out. Expect the ball
immediately. If someone is covering you aggressively, get outside leverage and lean on them before you break away. If ball
isn’t on you right out of break, see the “runway” in front of you. If it is clear, keep accelerating. If not, cut the throttle!

QB: Pre-snap read to pick a side…if the Press has good leverage to run his route, work the Press side. If a 2nd short
defender is head up on the Press, work the Slant side. To a Press: Read the 1st short defender, throw the Press on your third
step if he widens at all. Feel the Press’s reaction to what’s in front & throw accordingly. If your read key hangs, hit the Arrow.
