Reading the Diagrams

The numbers are depths in yards from the line of scrimmage. A dotted line is a conversion: the way the route changes against a certain coverage, labelled with the look that triggers it.

Some routes look alike on paper. A curl and a hitch both stop and turn back to the quarterback, but at different depths; a stick and a snag both settle at about 5 yards, but from different angles.

Common Questions
