Breakdown

Deep Post Corner runs out of Shotgun U Off Trips with 12 personnel, showing three receivers to the trips side. The outside trips receiver runs a deep post corner breaking to the far sideline, the middle receiver bends a deep post into the middle of the field, and the inside receiver stays in on a shallow drag underneath. This is a man beater built to attack Cover 2 and any single high look, with the primary read starting on the post corner for a one on one vertical shot, then working down to the post if the safety jumps the corner route, and finally checking down to the drag if both routes are covered.

Defensive Reads

Pre snap, identify two deep safeties which signals Cover 2 or Cover 4, both of which this post corner route combo is designed to exploit Watch the corner over the trips side, if he sinks deep with the corner route the post underneath should come open against the rotating safety Post snap, track any user controlled safety, if he sprints to jump the corner route immediately reset your eyes to the post since it will be wide open behind him This play struggles against aggressive Cover 3 with a hard flat defender since the underdneath drag has no help and the corner route runs into the deep third defender Watch for a nano blitz off the edge, if the offensive line is outnumbered protecting a five man rush get the ball out fast on the drag rather than waiting on the deep routes

Usage Tips

Use this play on early downs or second and long when you have play clock to let the deep routes develop downfield

Check the safety alignment pre snap, if you see two high safeties rotate your first read to the post corner since it is the classic Cover 2 beater on this concept

If the defense shows single high man coverage, key the post route in the middle since it isolates against a linebacker or slower defender in coverage

Hot route the shallow drag into a spot route or have it sit if you face zone coverage to give your QB an emergency check down against a hard blitz

Pair this play with PA Post Shot or Mtn Curls Y Corner in the same drive to keep the defense guessing between quick game and shot plays off similar trips alignment
