Attacking 1/4's

h20skiier,

How many steps does the receiver take on the take route, does he break on his 7th step? is it a timing route? or just a clearing route?

for attacking 1/4's you want to have inside receievers going deep forcing the safties to cover them and leaving the corners 1 on 1 with the outside guys. Also the flats are always good because they are usually covered by the backers.

Also teams will usually play some type of 1/4's on 1st and 10. what you do is send the inside guy on a 10-12 yard in route to occupy the saftey, and then send the outside guy on a post route. It helps to use play action too.
