WR ROUTES IN QUICK PASSING GAME

A) HITCH: A FULL 5 STEP ROUTE. DO NOT SHORTEN STEPS OR RAISE UP AT BREAKING POINT. ON FIFTH STEP ELBOW JAM TO QB PIVOTING INSIDE HIP TO THE OUTSIDE (THE EYES ARE THE FIRST THING TO TURN). BE STATIONARY & DO NOT DRIFT BACK OR TOWARDS THE QB AS THE BALL WILL BE IN THE AIR (IF THE BALL IS NOT IN THE AIR START “CREEPING” BACK TO THE QB). IF YOU GET A PRESS OR ROLL CB CONVERT TO FADE.

B) UP (FADE): BREAK DOWN CUSHION AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE, ATTACK THE DEFENDER (STEP ON HIS TOES) AND GO THROUGH HIS OUTSIDE SHOULDER. IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE READY FOR THE JAM BY THE CB - MISDIRECT HIS FORCE AND HOLD YOUR LINE. NEVER BE CLOSER THAN 5 YARDS TO THE SIDELINE. THE QB WILL DROP THE BALL OVER YOUR OUTSIDE SHOULDER. IF YOU GET A ROLL CB TRY TO GET AN OUTSIDE RELEASE – IF THE CB WON’T LET YOU OUTSIDE PUSH HIM TO THE SIDELINE AND DUCK INSIDE.

C) SLANT: A FULL 3 OR 5 STEP ROUTE. DO NOT SHORTEN STEPS OR RAISE UP AT BREAKING POINT. ON YOUR LAST STEP BREAK HARD AT 45 DEGREE ANGLE (THE EYES ARE THE FIRST THING TO TURN). IF MAN COVERAGE BREAK AWAY HARD FROM CB. IF ZONE COVERAGE BE READY TO THROTTLE DOWN IN THE HOLE BEHIND THE FLAT DEFENDER. IF YOU GET A PRESS CORNER GET INSIDE OF HIM, PUSH BACK AND BREAK AWAY.
