Coaching Points:
- Watch for the tight end as he breaks up on his will route. Often he will get opened against man press coverage because of the defender covering him will get caught up in the traffic.
- If the tight end is not open, look for the split end who runs a shallow crossing route.
- The flanker who runs the Deep post route is another option against cover 2 man coverage.
