DIAGRAM: This is a five-step pass route with a pre-snap read to the right side with one wide receiver. If that WR is being single-covered, then it is a “yes” read and the quarterback throws the speed route on time to the WR. If the WR is double-covered, then it is a “no” read and the QB works the side with three WRs. After making the pre-snap “no” read, the QB checks the safety on the post. After that, it’s a triangle progression with the first look to the crosser, the next look to the WR running the dig and the third option to the running back out of the backfield.
