Cut up of the day: Snag

I love the Snag concept... it was our best dropback pass play in terms of completions.  We need to improve how we run when we see man coverage but against zone it is money.  We did not always pull the trigger, but I was amazed how it opened up almost every single time... It was almost all we could complete when we dropped back yet flat defenders still had to defend bubble and chase it, and the Snag would open up in behind them.

We need to improve our completion % on this next year and I am going to alter the Snag runner's route slightly.  When we ran it ugly they broke their route off too shallow.  In the future I do not want them to break in on their angle until they push vertical to 5 yards.  I want them catching the ball at 8 yards deep not 5.  Breaking too soon often got them coming too far horizontally.  I do not want them coming near the Inside LB.  I want to just pick on that flat defender.

Most of the clips below are hitting the Snag route.  There are a few times we found the back mixed in.  Also a really nice TD to the RB after a jet sweep fake.

    He is reading the snag to the bubble, reading the flat defender

    We typically work the trips side as the read side as long as we have numbers advantage if not we will work the 2 man side

    When we see the CB following the snag route inside we will go over the top and hit the Corner route ... we could not hit this to save our life this year... We were always 1 step away from hitting a big score on the corner route and just overthrew it a few times
