“Sterken built a route recognition network, or RouteNet, that analyzed thousands of receiver routes run during week five of the 2017 NFL season. He was able to determine which route combinations produced the greatest success, and a key finding was that the flat-in-post route, a staple of the Steve Spurrier days at the University of Florida, was the best three-receiver route combination.”

It puts a lot of stress on your force defender (flat/in) and baits the safety into driving on the in route, and if he goes with the post, the in/dig should be open all day. It’s a single post high/Cover 3 beater.

I wonder how the four verts with no breaks until 15 yards held up...

And I should add you can run variations of this, like a shoot (speed out), slant, go/fade. If your OLB/box S can’t run with the shoot it’s a race to the sideline and up the field for 7+ regularly. If he can/does, throw the slant behind his ear, and if the CB goes press man/cover 2 and plays the slant, go Quick fade/9 route.

@freddiekitchens these flood concepts and 1/2 field progressions where you only have to read one defender post snap (force defender) and one defender presnap (CB in off man/zone tech vs press man) should be a staple for young QB.

If it doesn't work the first time, try, try, try, try, try again. 

Hue Jackson school for coaches who can't coach good.

Don’t think Spurrier gets enough credit for his offensive brilliance.
 

That quote isn’t surprising.

He also had better QBs for his offense in college than in the NFL. He has horrible QBs his two years with Washington.
