Two routes on a single deep defender, and in six-man there is usually exactly one. If he leaves the middle, throw the post; if he covers the post, throw the corner. Both ends push eight to ten yards upfield and then plant the outside foot. The back first runs through as if for the handoff and then blocks the outermost defender.

Called on: 1st down · 2nd & long · Openers

How the drawing is made

The drawing above is not a reproduction. It comes from the same library a new playbook gets its ready-made plays from, and it is drawn by the same renderer as the printout on game day. Take Play-Action Scissors into Routetree and this is exactly what you get.

It is drawn to the dimensions of Tackle football, 6 on 6. The same idea on a different field needs different spacing, which is why every concept sits in the format it applies to.
