Playbook: San Diego Chargers

Formation: Gun Bunch Wk

Play: Mesh Post

Setup: 

1. Hot route your A/X receiver to a slant route
2. (Optional) Do whatever you want with your running back

Reads:

1. Your first read is your A/X receiver on the slant
2. If he is covered, look to your B/circle receiver on the post
3. You can also look to the X/square receiver underneath or your tight end in the flats

Overview: This play has a lot of options which makes it hard for your opponent to decide which receiver to try to take away.

Let’s break this play down a little further.

This is how the play should look right before we snap the ball.

You notice right away that both our receiver on the post route and our receiver on the drag route are open.

We fire the pass into the receiver on the post route for a big gain.
