WTBMC #5: Back Shoulder Fade

Against press man coverage, a back shoulder fade route can take advantage of a defender's trail technique. The defender can not adjust to the under-thrown ball, as he is not looking at the quarterback. This play requires a good amount of practice time, but can be run at all levels of the game (NFL, College, High school).

WTBMC #4: Out and Go

The Steelers used a double move against a version of man coverage on third and short. The double move is an out and go route from a bunch alignment. The defense will typically trigger on any routes at the sticks on third down, this makes a double move a great call. The link to the video is below.

WTBMC #3: Jailbreak Screen

The Steelers used a jailbreak screen against a man look from the Cleveland Browns. There are a couple of subtle differences in this play from most jailbreak screens. The ball is thrown to the slot receiver instead of the outside receiver. The slot will sell the bubble in his first few steps. This fake will put the defender in a trail position for the jailbreak screen. A releasing offensive lineman will also block this defender. The video can be seen by clicking the link below.

Ways to Beat Man Coverage #2

This play is great for short yardage. The inside receiver in a trips set will "return" motion to running a flat route. The two outside receivers will run slant routes at varying depths to pick the man on the flat route.
