Curl Flat

The Curl Flat tag identifies plays built around the classic high/low stretch on the flat defender: a curl or hook route sitting at 10 to 12 yards paired with an underneath flat or angle route that pulls the corner or outside linebacker down. It spans 8 formations and 50 sets, from Singleback and Shotgun spread looks to Full House, Strong I, and Split Backs, so you get the same read out of heavy personnel and empty. Filter by this tag when you want a Cover 3 and Cover 2 zone beater that gives your QB a clean two-man progression, and use the pre-snap flip or a slot hot route to attack whichever side the defense leaves light.
