Husky

The basic premise of this play is to create a hi-low on a corner on one side whilebringing in an intermediate cross from the other side of the formation. On theother side of the formation we are putting the opposite corner in a quandry byrunning a streak down the hash and bringing a corner route underneath him

We can run this vs. a 2 deep zone or 3 deep zone

Alignment and precise routes by the receivers are critical on the trips side. Outsideruns a skinny post or seam, not crossing the hash on his side. The corner is run bythe inside receiver UNDERNEATH the seam/skinny post. Finally, the over route by themiddle receiver is run under the corner route.Generally, we will tell the QB to work one side of the pattern or the other

KEYS to a successful play:

Inside receivers avoid contact underneath & get vertical!

Receivers take good splits and attack along their landmark!

QB does a great job with his eyes, is decisive, and makes his throw

on time and with authority!

6 Route:CHOICE

The Choice Route is one of the primary ways we have to isolate an outside receiver!He runs a great Man-beater route, a Out, or whatever tagged route we give him bygame plan!

The route provides an excellent counter attack vs. defenses that overload to threereceiver sides!

Backside receivers are critical to this playthey are very much in the QBs thought

process and must use good splits and make good decisions to make themselvesavailable The combination of the In and Seam Read creates a high-low on the LBs!

Play action is a tremendous way to vary this play, causing hesitation by the frontsidelinebacker(s) were attacking and opening up throwing lanes for the frontside Out andthe backside Drag!

This is one of our top ways to convert 3rd and long situations with easy throws! The

backside routes also make it a viable Red Zone option!

KEYS to a successful play:

1. Smart pre-snap work and splits by the frontside receiver.

2. The BS Drag must release, beat LB coverage, and get in the

QBs vision!

3. The QB must have his hips ready to throw the Out on time, &

then see the BS receivers clearly as they come to him
