Breakdown

Chip Corner Strike is a trips-based dropback pass out of Shotgun Y Off Trips Wk that isolates the boundary receiver against man coverage while flooding the field side. The backside single receiver chips into a corner route, one trips receiver runs a deep crossing route to the far sideline, another sits with a deep crosser cutting underneath, and the flexed slot receiver bends a route into the middle of the field, while the running back releases into a quick flat route to the trips side. The primary read starts with the boundary corner route against single coverage, then works to the deep crosser working across the field if the corner is taken away, and finally checks down to the flat route against pressure or blitz looks. This is a man beater concept designed to punish teams that put a corner on an island on the backside.

Defensive Reads

Pre-snap, identify whether the backside cornerback is in press man or has safety help over the top, since this concept lives on beating true man coverage on an island. Watch the strong safety and slot corner depth on the trips side, if they sink hard on the deep crosser the underdeveloped corner route becomes a bigger opportunity. Post-snap, key the middle linebacker and any user lurk defender sitting in the shallow zone, since the crossing routes can be jumped if a defender sits and reads the quarterback's eyes. This play is vulnerable to zone match coverages like Cover 3 or Cover 4 that roll a safety over the top of the corner route or wall off the deep crossers. Watch for blitz packages that bring pressure off the edge to the running back's side, since the flat route is the built-in answer against overload blitzes but only if the quarterback gets through his read fast enough.

Usage Tips

Check the backside cornerback alignment before the snap, if he is playing tight man with no safety help over the top the corner route is money.

Use this on second and long or third and medium situations where defenses are more likely to play man coverage or blitz to create pressure.

If the defense shows two high safeties pre-snap, prioritize the deep crossing route over the corner route since the safety rotation will jump the boundary throw.

Hot route the running back into an extra blocker versus known blitz teams if you need more time to let the corner route develop against tight man.

Pair this play with Bounce PA Post Curls or Mtn Y Corner from the same set to keep defenses guessing between play action and quick dropback shots to the boundary.
