Demo rendered on @X (outside WR) at 16yd depth. Only the route runner and the QB are shown so the break stays the focus; the same route family scales to any depth a play calls for, and concepts that use this route may set a different depth.

Reading it by coverage
How to run the out & up against what the defense shows.
- Cover 1:
- vs man — sell the out to freeze his hips, then take it up the sideline.
- Cover 2:
- punish a squat/cloud corner who jumps the out — up the boundary behind him.
- Cover 3:
- vs a curl/flat defender who drives the out — release up over the top.
- Man:
- double-move — the harder he bites the out, the wider the up.
