For this passing concepts breakdown, we look at common high low passing concept called Post Corner High-Low Isolation. In the breakdown, we show how it works against Cover 2 Zone coverage.
The Post Corner High-Low Isolation is an excellent Cover 2 Zone Coverage beater, as it features a high low read for the quarterback. The outside receiver runs the post corner, while an inside receiver runs a flat route.
When running the Post Corner High-Low Isolation, the quarterback looks to see if the quarterback plays the hard flat or sinks back to help defend the outside receiver. If the cornerback plays hard flat and takes away the receiver’s flat route, then the quarterback would look to throw to the outside receiver running the Post Corner route.
On the other hand if the cornerback was to sink back and cover the outside receiver then the quarterback is twat to look this road to the outside receiver assuming he is able to get outside Leverage on the deep safety playing the Deep one half of the same side of the field.
Another route that many teams will use when running the Post Corner High-Low Isolation Vs Cover 2 Zone Coverage is a deep post route that is run by either slot receiver or tight end. His deep post route will look to hold the deep safeties from widening out to cover the post corner routes. This will route will also present the quarterback with an excellent deep middle route if the two deep safeties decide to widen their Cover 2 responsibilities.
