Levels

Watch for a single linebacker or safety trying to cover both in cuts, since Levels is designed to put that defender in a bind between the shallow and deep in routes. If the defense shows Cover 3 with a deep half player rotating late, expect the deep in to sit right in the seam behind the underneath zone. Man coverage with no help over the top is vulnerable to natural picks created by the stacked in cuts, so look for rub leverage at the top of the routes. Blitz heavy fronts that bring five or six rushers will be countered by the running back's flat release, so key the linebacker depth to see if he blitzes or sits in coverage. A hard squat corner on the backside can jump the corner route, so check cornerback press alignment before locking onto the deep sideline throw.
