7 Route:
“OUT”
•This route gives us an excellent way to attack the edges of
the field by putting one man in front of the CB (an Out route)
and another behind him (Corner route).
•This is one of the best ways we have to attack man
coverage, because both frontside routes are difficult to
cover, and we can create mismatches by formation!
•This is a great 3rd and Long package, and an excellent scoring route in the Red Zone
all the way down to approximately the 10 yard line!
KEYS to a successful play: TAGS/VARIATIONS

• Smart splits by the Out and the Corner. •67-77 “Horn”
• Correct TYPE of break by both frontside receivers!. •67-77 “Mirror” (+R Split)
• Correct spacing by the frontside receivers so that the CB •97-197
cannot be allowed to play both of them!
• Smart assessment by the QB and a throw on time!

READ. Normal odd-numbered backside rules. Be decisive, NEVER come inside the hash!
FS INS:
INS: CORNER.
CORNER. MUST release outside. Push to a depth of 12, stare at nearest safety. NOD break to Corner if not being
chased, 3-step MISDIRECTION break to Post if a guy is on your him. Angle 1/2way between C & S. If a Seam is outside you,
‘hiccup’ a half step before releasing to let him get ahead of you…you want to break off his hip.
FS MID: SEAM/THIN.
SEAM/THIN. You are the ‘Point Man’ and must get out clean--outside release is ideal, but take whatever keeps you
clean. SPRINT up the seam & wall off the safety. If he over-rotates past you, cross his face on a THIN angle & expect the ball!
FS OUTS: OUT.OUT. Split top of #s, or on hash if on far hash. Use ‘Flat’ or ‘4’ route technique: Attack CB’s outside eye,
straighten, and break at 10. If he’s off, speed break. If he’s hip to hip & running, drumroll, lean, and stick him!
QB: 5 angle quick…Key defender read off CB. Pre-snap read flat coverage to know if he presents a threat. If CB retreats at all, hit Out off
an anchor step through his shoulder pad. If CB closes up, pop-up with 2- or 3-ball to Corner. Go BS if danger player invades the Out.

•Tells outside receiver on the frontside (or both sides in a mirrored 90/190)
to fake his normal route and break up the sideline, showing his hands.
•Also tells all frontside receivers middle or outside to run a Thin Post to
hold the near safety.
•Technique notes:
a) Use same technique as Fade on deep part of route--get to his outside hip, straighten if he’s
running with you, expect to fade to the ball
b) ANTICIPATE that a beaten defender will try to grab/buddy arm/collision you as you pass
him! Use an aggressive escape technique (Rip, Swim, Chop) on the move!

“97” Shown •Drill the Out through shoulder pads off 3d step throw the Corner behind him. Trajectory depends on
(no Hitch) if CB retreats at all, alert for danger... coverage.
FS/BS INS:
INS: QUICK CORNER.
CORNER. MUST gain outside leverage on the man over you. Once you’ve done this, push vertical to a
6-7 yds, locking eyes with any hash safety. Fast NOD (no misdirection), clean break at 7 yds, take an angle that will get you
halfway between CB & Safety.
FS/BS OUTS: QUICK OUT. OUT. Split Top #s/Hash, unless into boundary v. Press CB (then split Sideline-5). Attack CB’s outside
leg right now. Straighten,work vertical to a depth of 6, 7 if opposite QB’s throwing hand.. Use SPEED break v. Off CB,
DRUMROLL v. Press…on either, SNAP head & elbow around off break. Ball should be right on top of you, have your hands
ready! Try to lose depth back to QB on break!
QB: Most important part of play is pre-snap. First, ID coverage. If CBs are soft, choose the side with the least threatening
danger player (1st short defender). If CBs are tight and head up to inside, go to the side where the safety help is furthest
away, wide side of field if in doubt. If the CBs are tight and outside (Cover 2), work the short side unless you have a
compelling reason to do otherwise.
Drop is normal 90 drop, three steps. Read is CB regardless of coverage. If he backs up, hit Quick Out on 3d step without a
Hitch up. If CB closes/sits, hitch up and hit Corner behind him. Throw will be FIRM v. 2 or 4, LOFTED against 0, 1, 3.
