Four verticals
Verts · 4 go routes
All four receivers run go routes, stressing every deep zone defender at once. Against Cover 3 the seams open between the deep thirds; the QB reads which safety commits.
When it applies
Against single-high coverage (Cover 1/3) or slow safeties.
+ StrengthsSimple read, maximum stress on safeties; beats Cover 3 clean.
− Trade-offsTwo-high safeties sit on it; needs time — a quick rush kills the deep routes.
