Post Corner Routes
The Post Corners Route is a pass route that many players seem to have problems
defending. The route can be effective against teams that like to play Cover 2 or basic man
coverage. We are going to show one such play where the SE and FL run Post Corner
Routes. The play is called Corners out the Singleback 4 WR. It can be found in the Atlanta
playbook among many others. We are going to show how to defend against it and how the
offense can dictate the coverage.
Singleback 4 WR Corners vs Man Coverage

The play works well against man coverage because of the routes being run by the SE and
FL. When they make their cut towards the corner of the end zone, the CBs tend to lose a
step leaving the receiver open. With both SL1 and SL2 running Streaks routes, the FS and
SS are pulled away from helping cover the outside receivers running the Post Corners
Routes. This leaves the both LCB and RCB in 1 on 1 coverage. With a perfectly timed pass
by the QB, the Post Corner route is hard to defend. We have found that the best way to
defend the Post Corner Routes is to blitz with Bump-n-Run or to run combo coverages.
Zones can also be effective if set up correctly. Below we show how the Dime Cover 2
Pinch can be an effective counter against the Singleback 4 WR Corners in another edition
of Playbook Live.
