make any player the #1 or #2 receiver in the route

#1 receiver runs the route that is called… #2 runs the compliment If #3 in formation…runs a built in route with the

call

Route Combinations #1 SLANT #2 ARROW #1 FADE #2 SPEED OUT #1 HITCH #2 HITCH #1 STICK #2 ARROW #1 “Eagle” Slant #2 “Lookie” #1 OUT #2 OUT #1 Z #2 HITCH
