Originally posted by thl408:I would rather go chronological order but with the play above (Fade-Out) fresh in our mind, here is a very similar route concept versus the same coverage - same quarter, two drives later. Let's see if Blaine learns.
The Out route (red) is now a quick fake screen to the flat. This is to bait the CB to come forward and not gain any depth.
Versus Cover 2 Zone
The read is the same. If the CB gaints depth, throw the Out. If he is shallow throw it into the honey hole. The CB does not gain depth so the correct target is the Fade. It must be thrown on time and with proper placement. Too late or deep and the safety can come over to make a play.
Torrey's only positive catch of the game. +15
See the difference here from what I see is in the 1st example, the DB started to drop back, almost baiting Gabbert to throw the out route. And the short throw here protected Smith from getting KO'd too
