The screenshots below are against a cover 3 press defense.
This is how we should be lined up right before the ball is snapped.
In this screenshot you can see that we have our receiver underneath and we can also probably hit our tight end over the middle.
The free safety gets sucked up to try to cover our tight end on the post route leaving our wide receiver open behind him.
We air it out and our receiver catches it for a touchdown. Keep in mind this particular receiver will only be open against some cover 3 defenses.
