Breakdown

Mtn WR Corner is a play-action style dropback pass out of Shotgun Deuce Close (12 personnel) that uses pre-snap motion to declare coverage before the snap. Post motion, the outside receiver runs a deep corner route, the inline TE releases vertically up the seam, one TE runs a deep out to the flat, and the remaining backfield route breaks flat to the opposite sideline for an outlet check down. The primary read progression starts with the corner route against man leverage or a cleared out flat zone, moves to the seam vertical if the safety jumps the corner, and finishes with the flat routes as underneath zone beaters against off coverage.

Defensive Reads

Read the flat defender first, if he sinks with the deep out route the underneath check down window opens for an easy completion Key the deep safety, if he stays in the middle of the field on a single high shell the corner route wins one on one against the corner Watch for user controlled defenders sitting on the corner route from a lurk technique, since this route is telegraphed and vulnerable to a jumped throw if the quarterback stares it down Cover 3 with an aggressive flat corner and hard seam runner can undercut both the corner and seam routes, forcing a checkdown to the flat route Two deep shells with a squatting cornerback take away the corner route entirely, in that case the seam route against the slot defender becomes the better answer

Usage Tips

Use the pre-snap motion to identify man versus zone before the ball is snapped, if the defender follows the motion man across the formation it confirms man coverage and opens up the corner route as your first read

Attack single high safety shells since the corner route stretches the deep quarter with no help underneath, avoid firing this into two deep shells unless you have identified a clear void in the flat

Hot route the shallow crosser into a quicker option on third and short if the defense shows blitz, since the corner route takes time to develop and needs a clean pocket

Pair this play with RPO Read Mtn Stick or Mtn Stick earlier in a drive to condition the defense to sit on quick game, then hit them with the corner route shot play once linebackers start crashing downhill

Use in second and long or third and long situations where you need explosive yardage and the defense is more likely to play off coverage or press without safety help over the top
