Three-receiver triangle. Inside slot runs the 'snag' (spot route at 5-6 yds, settling); outside runs a corner over the top; back to the flat. Triangle stretches the flat defender high-low AND the corner inside-out.
Snag Right: S spot @ 5yd, Z corner @ 13yd, B flat @ 4yd — triangle stretch.
Versatile triangle vs Cover 1 or Cover 3 — three options at three depths. Strong on 2nd-and-medium when you need positive yards regardless of look.
Avoid it against a hard two-man bracket on the three-receiver side or pressure that arrives before the corner route can clear the triangle. A squat corner plus an outside-leverage flat defender can squeeze both short answers, so keep a backside outlet when that rotation is likely.
Read the triangle low-to-high against pressure and inside-out against spot-drop zone. Vs man, tighten the bunch to manufacture traffic; vs zone, widen the point receiver enough to preserve all three windows. Near the goal line, shorten the corner break and settle the snag just beyond the goal line.
