Identify whether the defense is showing two high safeties or rotating to single high before the snap, since this concept attacks the seam vacated by a rotating safety. Watch linebacker depth and flow, if the linebackers bite hard on the run fake, the crossing mountain route will have room to work behind them. Beware of a user controlled defender sitting in a lurk spot over the middle, as that threatens the deep crossing route and can jump the throw. Cover 3 with a hard flowing strong safety is vulnerable to the corner breaking mountain route, but Cover 4 quarters shells can take away both mountain routes and force the checkdown. Blitz packages that bring extra rushers off the edge will test the slide protection quickly, so know your hot route answer before the snap if you see nickel or dime pressure looks.
