Breakdown

TE Corner out of Shotgun Tight Y Off lines up in 11 personnel and sends the TE on a corner route that stems vertically before breaking outside, the deep read on this concept. The backside WR runs a deep post from the outside, the play side outside WR runs a hitch style out breaking route, and the slot WR runs a quick out to the flat while the RB stays in to check release or leak out underneath. This is a man beater built around the TE corner route winning one on one leverage against linebackers or safeties in coverage, with the primary read progression going TE corner first, then working to the flat route underneath if the corner is not open.

Defensive Reads

Read the safety alignment before the snap, if you see one high safety in the middle of the field, the TE corner has a strong chance to win against man coverage underneath. Watch for a user controlled defender flashing down to jump the corner route, this is the most common way defenses take away the primary read on this concept. Check linebacker depth at the snap, shallow linebackers will struggle to get enough width to stay with the TE on the corner break, while deep dropping linebackers can sit and squat on it. Cover 3 zone shells with a deep third defender sitting outside can bracket the TE corner route, so be ready to work the underneath flat or post as a zone beater answer. Against Cover 2 or Cover 4 with two safeties, expect the corner route to run into help over the top, so use the flat and post routes to attack the seams before the corner even develops.

Usage Tips

Attack man coverage matchups where a linebacker or slower safety is lined up on your TE, since the corner route creates natural separation on the break.

Use pre-snap motion or a hot route to check the flat route into a quick out if you see Cover 0 or man press with no safety help over the top.

This play pairs well with Mesh Spot or Double Ins Stack Out from the same set since those concepts attack underneath zones and hold linebackers, opening up the TE corner against zone rotation.

Target this play on second and medium or third and short situations where defenses are more likely to sit in man coverage or blitz, since the quick underneath options give you a checkdown against zone.

If the defense shows two high safeties pre-snap, prioritize the flat route or backside post since the TE corner into a two high shell will likely be squeezed by a deep safety.
