FS OUTS: INDIVIDUAL. Varies by number, i.e. 2 is HITCH, 8 is STOP, 9 is SLANT, 6 is QUICK OUT. Can change with verified hand signal.
Critical checks are 9 v. Cloud and 8 v. Press.
BS MID/Not Designated as SPACE: ARROW. Split OT +3. Goal is to attract flat defenders attention and get him to run with you; technique is a bit
different than basic 1 in that you are emphasizing WIDTH more than DEPTH. Take one 45 step, aim at a point 3 yds deep along the sideline. Snap your
head around on your 3rd step out of the break without slowing down. Do NOT turn up sidelines; if you get past the bottom of the #s, turn inside, show
numbers to the QB. R.A.C. Get the sideline!
BS INSIDE or Tagged SPACE: SPACING SIT. Goal is to hold 2nd short defender and stay open if he flies past you. Forced Stem/Dive release, aim for a
spot 6 yds deep 2 yds beyond his far shoulder to help create spacing. Be SUDDEN & distinct at the top (plant before head) get BIG in the paint.
Freedom is 1 step laterally either way. R.A.C. tight turn SPLIT EM.
BS OUTS: MINI CURL. Basic split is TIGHT. 3 step vertical step, speed break 2 steps to Slant, drop your hips, plant, and present your numbers to
QB. Get inside the alley defender; you should have the sense of running a U-turn around him. Can slide inside ONLY AFTER youve presented #s to QB.
R.A.C. tight turn to shoulder QB puts ball on. If called alignment BUNCHES or SQUEEZES you, Spray release, no 2nd stem, 7 x 3 break.
QB: Drop depends on the Individual. Pre-snap CB play on top, Prem / non-premium on the edges. Hand signal if needed to get the correct individual
(MUST have 199 v. Cloud; 198 v. Press). PREM: 1st step Keep it premium eyes past MLB Progression Individual to Sit to Mini to Arrow/Swing.
NON-PREM: Track individual on 1st step Progression Sit to Mini to Arrow/Swing. Reset for depth to the backside (can quick 5 non-premium), find EYES.

BS MID: DEEP HITCH with FREEDOM. Split way +1. Goal is to be in the fat of the Zone at 8-10 yards with EYES when QB looks for you. Take best
available release, re-stack in your tube, and run a Hitch at 9-10 yards. Seize whatever spot is given you, present yourself to the QB.
BS INSIDE: ELIMINATION DRAG. Split OT +3. Goal is to make Point LB a non-factor. Take an angle to where his upfield shoulder will be; once on his
vertical level, plant off outside foot, snap & run flat across the field FAST, looking back at QB the whole way like you expect the ball. Keep arms pumping!
BS OUTS: STOP & GO. Normal Split. Idea behind this route is to get the CB to break, react, and be turning his back to run with you right as RB gets the
ball. Sell the stop, but start the Fade phase at 7, shorten the 3+2 to just 3, make a fast pivot, just enough to get turned, and get right back out of it.
Accelerating to CBs outside hip. Sprint, but look back as though youre getting ball as you sprint along red line. Block CB once ball is caught.
RB: ARROW or SWING. You have a Swing if in the backfield; an Arrow if in any S position (Stud-Slug, Smart-Slim, etc) or in motion. Protection call will
dictate your protection responsibilities, if any, prior to releasing. SWING should be a speed-skater step & a 6-step SPRINT, losing no depth, and you
should turn up just past outside receivers original spot. ARROW aims for 3 yds along the sideline, look early, flip your hips when beyond bottom of #s.
In either case, URGENCY is the key word you must get out FAST< and you must maximize R.A.C. by GETTING the SIDELINE.
QB: This is a Category B call, meaning our preference is to work backside unless we have a gimme frontside. Individual is pre-snap Yes/No. Drop is
5 quick / 3 quick, initial Eyes are to the POINT, to place him on the Drag, read is the shoulders of the Hang, Deep Hitch to Swing. Stop & Go not a factor.

AIM refers to an adjustment by Inside receivers if a LB is inside him, and out of the box. He will AIM his 3+2 -step Hitch at the outside leg of that LB
to wall him off from defending Hitches outside him. Takes priority over Spray.
SPRAY is called by any receiver who sees a short defender (5 yds or less) outside them. It causes the receiver making the call & any outside him to
Spray their Hitch by aiming it 3 yds outside their alignmentOutside foot up, add 1 step.

FS INS: ARROW. Split 1/2way +1. Goal is to attract flat defenders attention and get him to run with you; technique is a bit different than basic Curl in
that you are emphasizing WIDTH more than DEPTH. Take one 45 step, then accelerate toward a point 3 yds deep along the sideline, snapping your head
around on your 3rd step out of the break without slowing down. If you get to the bottom of the numbers, flip your hips, show your #s.
FS OUTS: MINI CURL. You want to get the feeling of running a semi-circle around the flat defender and getting into the window inside him before
he can react. For that reason, cut your split to Top #s (Hash). Use same components of Curl route, just shorter: Sprint to 4-5, Speed break to 7, Drumroll
redirect back to QB at 7 after burst/lunge. Take an angle that gets you INSIDE the flat defender, INTO the window, then come back THROUGH it. Ball
should be waiting on you. Make a 180 spin after catch, split the zone North & South.

FS INS / Non-tagged: ARROW. Split OT+3. Goal is to attract flat defenders attention and get him to run with you; WIDTH not DEPTH. Take one 45 step,
then accelerate toward a point 2-3 yds deep along the sideline (1 f/SL if TE or RB); snap head around on your 3rd step out of the break without slowing
down. If you get to the bottom of the #s, flip your hips, show your #s. RB must know that 95 is an exception that tells them to run ARROW, never SWING.
Next OUTS / Tagged: STICK. Vertical to preferred inside release; be aware pre-snap and immediately upon post-snap of underneath coverage inside
and outside of you. The first time your inside foot hits on or past 6 yards, STICK it in the ground, pull your outside elbow through & snap your head,
accelerating to the outside with the goal of ending up yard closer to the L.O.S. than when you started your break. Expect the ball right out of the break.
If you dont get it out of the break, see a 2 yard runway on either side of your peripheral; if the runway is clear, keep accelerating. If you see wrong color
on the runway, give the QB your chest immediately. R.A.C. 180 degree turn to outside shoulder, split defenders north & south.
QB: Off CB w/ Ike or wider is Premium; so is a Cloud CB whose next short defender is a Point (B gap or tighter). PREM: 3 big / Kick Rocker / Pedal lt

FS OUTS: DIAGONAL. Split is TIGHT (Possibly minimum) Aim your route at the upfield shoulder of the first LB inside you. Anticipate a moving target;
your angle to this target should end up about 60 or so. If Hang gets width & opens past you, look for the ball, on the run, on your back shoulder, NOW.
RB / FS INS: BUSH. From RB position, cheat up to 4 yards, outside leg of tackle. Split for a slot receiver is way. Initial aiming point is right off the
hip of the Diagonal. RB will attack at top speed to get there; Slot will footfire in place 3 times to set it up before getting there. The moment you feel
yourself not being covered on this course, look for the ball FAST on your back shoulder. If you get to your aiming point, turn up the bottom of the #s &
hold the red line; expect the ball at this point to be lofted over your shoulder as in a Fade.

BS MID or Tagged SPACE: SPACING SIT. Possible MOON call, push to 7-8
QB: 3 big / Kick Rocker / Pedal left EYE the point one step, READ the FS Hang. Basic thought process is that the ball goes to the Bush on a 1-ball/back
shoulder now if the Point doesnt take a direct path to cover him. If Hangs direct path to cover involves opening his shoulders, BANG the back shoulder
of the Diagonal on the anchor; if the Hangs path runs underneath the Diagonal, 3-ball the Bush over top. A squared, Cloud CB is danger to the Bush; the
Point LB is danger to the Diagonal. RFD Sit-Mini-Arrow.

freeze / grab an Overhang to limit his ability to squeeze the COPs release. Aim for a spot 4 yards deep, 1 yard INSIDE the alignment of the Inside receiver to
do this. SELL the Drag route with tempo, SEPARATE on the way back out by sticking your upfield foot in the ground, pulling your inside arm hard, and
accelerating flat. RAC get the sideline!

Variation of 97-197 that, often through motion, gives the

outside receiver the freedom to pick the best route based
on CB play a miniature Flat v. Man or tight coverage, or
97-197 DODGE

DODGE 1/2way OT +3
197 DODGE Shown Ins +4
FS OUTS: DODGE. From an Inside +4 split, the idea is to briefly size up what the CB is doing, than choose the best route to beat him. If not in motion,
we would prefer to Ron or Lou your alignment (communicate with inside receiver). Pause slightly off LOS, and watch CB. If he sits & looks at you,
assume man coverage, Arc to his outside hip, run a miniature Flat route at 4 yds with same technique as on 4 route. If he gains depth & width, Spray to a
miniature Smash, working to a spot 4 yards deep x 2 outside your original alignment.
FS INS: COP. Split way. MOFC Quick Corner preferred Arc, straighten to 7 & see the bisect point, Speed break at the best angle to the Corner. Flatter
is generally better. Expect ball on steeper angle with loft v. Press man; flatter & faster v. Cover 2. MOFO Quick Post best available release & restack;
square eyes to safety, nod, break thin at 7-8. The tighter the safety, the flatter your break needs to be to separate.
BS OUTS: MINI CURL.
QB: Two ways to read it, once you understand the basics of the 97-197 concept. Generally, will read & drop exactly like 97-197, Progressing Quick Post
to Spacing v. MOFO (BS Saf awareness), keying CB for Quick Corner (sits) or Dodge (retreats) to Spacing. As a ball-control thought, however, or v. bad
looks for the Cop (Cover 3), progress Dodge to RFD Spacing in this case, use Quick 3/Quick 5 footwork, make Moon call BS.

OT +3 1/2way +1
BS INS: ARROW. Split 1/2way +1. Goal is to attract flat defenders attention and get him to run with you; technique is a bit different than basic Curl in
that you are emphasizing WIDTH more than DEPTH. Take one 45 step, then accelerate almost flat to the sideline, snapping your head around on your
3rd step out of the break without slowing down. Can turn up once 5 yds from the sidelines if you dont have the ball and theres no Quick Corner in the
deep sandbox.
FS and BS OUTS: PLUS MINI CURL. Normal Mini-Curl technique, but 4 + 3 steps instead of 3 + 2should take you to a depth of 8, possibly
9Outside foot is up because of the stepsmake sure youre in an open window, ready when QB gives you his eyes.
FS INSIDE or Tagged MANNING: SPLIT SIT. You are the primary receiver! Aim your sit route to a point 6 yards halfway between the 1st and 2nd LB on
or inside you. Versus a Split LB look, this should be right over the ball. Vs. a Mike LB look, it will probably be FS B gap. Expect the ball fast! Use a
tight settle & noose turn to maximize RAC!
QB: Drop is Quick 3/Rocker & Hitch Object the Sit Give him a triangle throw on rhythm if hes open if squeezed, work Mini Curl to Arrow in the
direction he was squeezed from reset for depth to the Mini, possible Quick Escape to the Arrow

From the backfield, aim 2 yds outside TE/T; Post break will happen at when beyond LBs heels. The tighter the safety, the flatter your break.
QB: Drop is 5 quick (3 quick from Gun). Pre-Snap ID MOFO or MOFC, and CB alignments on either side so you know if you will have

MOFO give active eyes to safety opposite the Quick Thin for 2 steps, bang the Thin out of the break on your anchor step; quick escape to the

BS/FS OUTS: STOP. Normal Split. Standard Stop route technique; you are a critical outlet late in the QBs progression, so, if anything, push a step
deeper rather than shorter. Because you will likely not get the ball right out the break, expect to keep coming downhill after the break, placing yourself
squarely between yourself & the CB so he has no angle to break up on the ball.
BS/FS INS or NON-TAGGED: ARC S.O.S. Split way (OT+5-6 if on 3 rec side) Your job is to take hash safeties in a 2-safety look off the hash & pry the
middle open; v. 1 safety, the goal is to stretch the single safety horizontally so he cant cover you both. KEY: win on the release so you can get vertical fast!
Because of your job, Arc release the hang, use a landmark of 2-3 yds outside the hash, & STAY on SEAM (no bend adjustments).
BS/FS MID (or TAGGED): SLASH. Split Ins +5. Goal is to get quickly into the void in the middle of the defense behind LB level. MUST win by planning your
release course! Use slight pause to allow Ins to create a wake & see the angle of Hang & Point LB. Plan to go over top of them to your landmark--20 yards
right over the ball--adjust and go under if they take that angle away, getting right back on your angle after. Expect ball as soon as you clear! As you clear,
straighten if you feel chased from behind with no safety help; flatten if you feel the near saf tight to you.
QB: Drop is KickRocker & Hitch. Will always be Gun & always use Free protection. All interior throws are Timely 2 balls off your Hitch except for Cover
0Stops are Gut shots off a quick escape. Eyes & rhythm are the key.
Vs. 2 safeties, eye safety OPPOSITE the Slashif he rotates toward the Slash, hit the Seam where youre looking; else, come off your hitch step & bang the
Slash as he clears. Color from the other safety on top: hit the Seam to that side. Color from underneath: Quick escape to Stop.
Vs. 1 safety, eye Jack in the direction where hes cheated, hit opposite Seam on rhythm. If he rotates toward where you want to throw, hit Seam where youre
looking. Color on the Seam you want = Quick Escape to Stop. Must have mentality that the Stop is a great completion for us.
