1. Streak the X/Square receiver
2. Put the B/O receiver on an out route and smart route him
3. Drag the A/X tight end (optional)

Reads:

Let’s take a closer look at how this play works.

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

We can see as the play develops that our receiver running the post route is going to get open. The receiver on the deep out route is holding the cornerback on the right side of the screen down closer to the line of scrimmage.

You can see just before we throw it, our receiver has all kinds of open room.
