[QUOTE="daBuzz, post: 49797, member: 56"] If only it were so simple. A read route often has 3 options. First option is the designated route...let's say it's a 12 yard skinny post. However, if the safety on your side is inside the nearside hash marks as you come shoulder-to-shoulder with the corner playing press coverage, you are supposed to break off the skinny post & do a sit down route between 5 and 7 yards in the open space between the linebacker and the safety.....unless the corner back is playing on your inside shoulder. At which point, you break it off into the flats at 9 yards to the out. However, if the safety is outside the hash, then your options might be the skinny post or the out route. And oh by the way, the QB has to read the route the same way and all of that has to happen while you're sprinting down field as fast as you can with someone trying to knock you off your route and the QB trying to go through his progresssions at the same time he's avoiding the rush. Edited to add: Oh and all of that assumes you don't both read blitz. If you do and you're the hot route, you break off all of the above reads and go to your designated hot route zone and expect to receive the ball off a 3 step drop. [/QUOTE]
