Sail away, why don´t we sail away!

Gee,It has been quite a while since I have blogged...a lot has happened in that time, I coached in the USA at a small Div 3 college and now I am in the land of reindeer.I found out I have a condition of Syndrome X- that’s what the doctor says---it’s a faux heart attack. Which is better than a real Heart Attack! I had a detached Retina, that’s fixed sort off- Laser treatments, which followed 3 surgeries and the additional Laser/surgery I spend more time in the Hospital than I wish too. Otherwise I feel great.With all the bull pukey aside I want to talk about the use of the Sail Route. This is basically your fade route inverted. See 1. We used this in 2005/2006 in Europe to great successes unfortunately our Defense was better at putting points on the board than us, sarcasm on my part, since it was the other guys doing it.Very simple concept.Motion Z so we have a number 3 on one side the motion continues to the snap.X runs a choice and reads the Safety. If he drops to pick up the crossing pattern by Y the Ten and IN we go over the top with a post, usually the FS is smarter and stays on top, then we SLAP him across the face and run underneath in another crossing pattern at 14 yards.Z the motion WHIPS up the sideline, either pulling the Corner or making the SS get across to protect the far reach of his Zone.Y runs the Ten and in clearing the OLB and trying to set the FS/SS to drop down2 runs the Sail, he is reading the Safeties inside shoulder, when he sees that shoulder stop sliding he makes the route straight and looks for the QB.QB rolls to the 3-receiver side- this can be protected by Jet 3-Waggle back- if the waggle happens and the OLB goes with the Ten and in then the back may be able to sit in the seam for a short pass.The read is left to right starting on the far hash- The QB will see- Slap/Post or the crossing route of the Y and X- as he carries the read inside further the Sail comes into view- the last read is the Corner and the Whip route by Z. If all else fails he can the short pass the back or run to sideline.Easy, swift and will give the Defense fits.
Hope it helps.CRL
