Air Raid staple — two shallow drags crossing under a curl, with answers against man and zone built in.

This is your man-beater: and cross at 5–6 yards and create natural traffic; against zone they settle in the first open window instead.

Primary reads

• 1st read (): under drag at 5 yards — vs man he clears the mesh and keeps running; throw on the move
• 2nd read (): over drag at 6 yards, settling vs zone in the window behind the rush
• 3rd read (): curl at 12 yards over the top of the mesh
• Outlet (): flat at 4 yards — free yards if the defense sinks

Situational use

• 2nd-and-medium, and any time man coverage shows
• Vs blitz: the mesh comes open fast — hit hot

Coverage key

• Man: throw the drags on the run, lead away from the trailer
• Zone: the drags sit down; work 's curl if the underneath defenders chase the mesh
• 's go at 18 clears the top — take it only if the corner squats hard
