Let’s take a look at how this play should work in more detail.

This is how the play should look before the snap.  Remember to block you running back and motion the B/circle receiver to the left.

This screenshot shows that both the safety and the cornerback are going with our receiver on the fade route which will allow our receiver on the skinny post route to get wide open.

When our quarterback releases the ball, you can see how much open room our receiver has.  He is wide open.

We catch the pass with no one around us and walk in for an easy touchdown.
