Overview: On this play, we are looking to flood the zones in a cover 3 defense. We are attacking the sidelines with high and low reads. We can also attack the middle of the field with a quick pass and a deep pass.
Let’s take a look at this play in more detail.
This is how the pre-snap play art should look. The only adjustment is putting the B/circle receiver on a slant route.
You can see how the slot cornerback jams our tight end, allowing our running back to get open in the flat.
Notice how no defender is anywhere near our ruuning back so we have plenty of room to run.
By the time we are tackled, we got an easy 15 yard gain.
