High-low on the cornerback — 's corner over 's hitch, worked to the left. Built to beat Cover 2, still safe against everything else.
Primary reads (read the flat-side cornerback)
- 1st read (): corner at 13 yards — when the corner squats on the hitch (Cover 2 look), throw over his head to the outside
- 2nd read (): hitch at 5 yards — when the corner bails deep, take the easy completion
- 3rd read (): flat at 4 yards — outlet when both are covered
Situational use
- Red zone: the corner route wins to the front-left pylon
- 1st down vs soft corners: the hitch is free yardage
Coverage key
- Cover 2: this is the beater — attacks the deep-outside void behind the corner
- Cover 3 / man: take 's hitch and move on
- 's drag at 3 crosses underneath late; 's go at 18 clears the backside
