Snag Concept – Multiple Threats

X’S & O’S: MULTIPLE THREATS WITH SNAG CONCEPT was first published by AFCA Insider in conjunction with Just Play Sports Solutions.

The Snag Concept stretches the field both horizontally and vertically for defender(s) assigned to cover the flat/sideline. Typically, one defender is assigned to cover the flat and another is assigned the sideline, creating a situation in which two defenders must cover three receivers.

An inside receiver (Z) runs a corner route. The H-back runs a shoot or similar route toward the sideline. The X runs 5 yards to his spot and turns. Combined, these three routes stretch the defense horizontally and vertically.
