Play Action Switch Mills

Switch Concepts are a staple of Run & Shoot offenses, but you can see them everywhere now. If defenses commit to stacking the box and playing Cover 1 expect to see these Switch Concepts. The genius of the Run & Shoot is the freedom receivers have to adjust their routes based on the coverage. Normally the Slot would run a Wheel Route, but because he is able to win Inside Leverage he converts to a Post.

Veteran Receivers thrive with sight adjustments to their routes. Play Action 7-Man Protection gives time for the Switch to happen and still create vertical separation on the Post. If you’re getting a lot of Cover 1, try to isolate your speedy slot with a Big Post!
