Graphic option:
Our next opponent is Arizona and we are diagramming a play that will take advantage of their tendency to play press coverage in the middle third of the field with a single high safety. Arizona tends to play more with their base 4-3 personnel than most teams so that they can stay stout against the run. This play is called for a press man look out of a single high safety read, preferably against the base defense. A six man protection package keeps the qb clean (the FB needs to be reading both ends as well as keeping an eye on the Star linebacker), while the two wideouts run similar deep post routes to the field side (WRs should be aligned on the boundary side for this). The Z man's route is intended to take the free safety across the field and vacate the boundary seam. X should have a leverage advantage as the corner is on an island and cannot allow him to get outside. X breaks in behind the Z post route and should have a relatively easy seam throw for about 25 yards, with a chance for a broken tackle and a long touchdown. The running back runs a safety valve underneath, and the tight end balances the formation by running a 15 yard out.
