Mirrored routes

We run a "50 series" mirror package with the X and Z from the pro with "I"backs. We have 8 routes that we mirror. 50- boundary release go 51- 5 yd. out cut 52- 5 yd. regular slant 52 Quick- quick slant
53 - 18 yd. post corner or deep out 54- 18 yd, post 55 - 7 yd curl 56- 20 yd. come back 57- 18 yd. stop 58 - 10 yd. in cut

QB drops 3 steps on 50 thru 52 quick and 55
QB drops 5 steps on 56.57.58.

We incorporate an audible system that gives the QB free hand in checking out of a called play to
anything he reads that would be advantageous, be it another pass or a running play. I don't think that is a viable option for the HS level, although when I coached HS ball I always believed in giving the athlete as much as he proved to me that he could handle. As has been stated in the previous post, your not going to give a first year player this kind of freedom, obviously. Mirror routes have been around a long time, and the concept is still sound and produces quite well, in my humble opinion.

We read the outside inverts first, the CB's second which has always been sound to me, in the PSL. AS the coach above mentioned, we are throwing away from a ss. We always teach our receivers to read, as well as, the QB. If the wideouts see a monster to their side, they know the QB is going to the other side, but we want him to run his route as hard and as sharp as if he was going to get the ball, of course.

We run Playside and Backside combos.

The playside runs the designated play and the backside always runs one of two combos:
Basic: Split End runs 15yds dig & Flanker runs shallow cross

Pump-Adjustment: Split End runs shallow cross & Flanker runs skinny post to far shoulder (1 deep/ 3 deep safety) or between the safeties (2 deep) or just a straight ("empty" or blitzing safety).
