The Mesh Concept is great because it puts stress on the defense if they are in man or zone. The shallow crossing routes cause natural picks to beat man coverage. Vs zone you get a high-low action with the post/shallows and the back out on the flat to replace the vacated zone when the DB carries the post or jumps the mesh coming his way. Also you can change to Post to a Corner to get a Triangle read.
