  3. You also have the tight end underneath

Play: Drive Corner (Version 2)

Setup:

  1. Hot route the X/square receiver to a slant route
  2. Hot route the B/circle receiver to a streak and motion him to the left

Reads:

  1. Your main read on this account is against cover 2 defenses to the Y/triangle receiver on the corner route to the wide side of the field
  2. You can always hit the running back in the flats or the A/X tight end as he comes over the middle

Overview: Once your opponent starts focusing on the short side of the field with his cover 2 defense, we can attack the wide side of the field with the Y/triangle receiver.
