5. Finally, if all else fails check down to the X/Square receiver on the in route

Overview: This play makes it very easy to make reads against a defense. We are attacking high and low on both sides of the field. On the left you just have to read the cornerback and see if he drops back then the smoke screen is open, if the cornerback plays the flats then the corner route will be open.

Reads:

Overview: This is an effective run to keep your opponent off balance. You can’t get one dimensional and always pass, if you do so your opponent will start dropping a lot of people in coverage and pass committing. This is a solid run to mix it up.
