Out
Philosophy
This is our best play to get our Best WR one on one with a CB. It is a timing pass and has one read only. The QB will throw the ball away if he cannot make the throw. If it is a critical down he will scramble and get the WR the ball.
Formation
We prefer this play out of any 2x2 formation but run it out of trips when were on the Hash marks.
Alignment
Outside WR's are to line up any where they choose as long as they get a good release off the line. Slots are to align 2 yards inside the Hash marks. They are to adjust their alignment in bump coverage so they can effectively get to the Hash marks during their routes. If WR's are being re-route during bump coverage align so the bump pushes you to your route.
Pre-Snap Read
QB walks to the Ball and looks for potential 7 man Blitz. Once QB has determined
There is no threat of 7 man blitz he looks to see what match up he likes better or which CB is giving a better cushion.
Post-Snap Read
After QB has made his decision he snaps the ball and proceeds on his five big steps and hitch drop. QB goes through the same progression as Streak. He wants to look FS off to Z's Streak and look CB off to H's Streak. He then will plant and throw a Chest high pass outside to X. QB wants to throw the ball when X has made his Post move. Lead X 5 yards to his outside, allowing X time and room to run to the ball.
Two deep or Dime Coverage
If QB sees two deep safeties he will look to Z and go through his normal progression. After QB looks off SS to Y's streak he comes backside to H's dudley route. He then needs to see if X has converted to a Corner route if CB is robbing the Out.
Pattern Adjustments
X Out route
Zone or Man coverage X will Post at 12 Yards for two to three steps and comeback on a 14 yards Out route. X will look CB deep as if he was running a deep Post. When CB turns his hips inside X will plant and comeback down hill looking for the ball as he turns.
If QB has not thrown ball and gives you a pump fake turn up sideline. If QB gives you no Pump fake stay at home and wait for ball. If CB jumps Out route you may covert the Out to a Corner
H Dudley Route
Zone or Man as you release read MOF and determine if you are Streaking or Posting. If MOF is closed stay on Streak keep proper Horizontal stretch on FS. Idle down and don’t out run the QB's arm when you have open field in front of you. If MOF is open Post across middle. No FS you have lots of room to work MOF. 2 FS's work off your FS a Y will influence the other. Bump coverage push up field lean into your man, as if your breaking on a Out, and slide by him on a Post at about 8 - 10 yards well in front of the FS.
Split the FS's but don’t run yourself into the other FS.
Z Streak Route
Zone or Man push up field on a Streak route. As you clear underneath coverage idle down and look for ball quick if QB has not thrown ball by 10 yards get up field and draw FS to you with eye contact. Keep Streak route on Hash mark to keep Horizontal stretch on FS.
Y Out route
Zone or Man coverage Y will Post at 12 Yards for two to three steps and comeback on a 14 yards Out route. Y will look CB deep as if he was running a deep Post. When CB turns his hips inside Y will plant and comeback down hill looking for the ball as he turns.
If QB has not thrown ball and gives you a pump fake turn up sideline. If QB gives you no Pump fake stay at home and wait for ball.
Defensive Problems
routes to the Slots and let X be covered by the CB.
To get rid of SS's deep coverage we can put H on a stop or flat route to get SS attention.
Conclusion
Out is our best play to get the ball tour our best WR in a one on one covered. When you need the 1st down this is the play to run.
