You vary the width ofthe receiver. He m^y be
l yard split or he may be 12 yards split, depending
on which linebacker we are trying to beat. X
works up the fretd, gets past the man who has
short coverage, and turns in. We tell him to get
past the W and beat the M.
On this pattern we tell our receiver thst he
must go at l€ast 12 yards and never more than
18 yads on the hook. Not because h€ can't get
op€n, but because the quarterback can't wait that
long to thow. A lot ofit is predicated on pa6s rush.
We say never less thalr 12, because we can'i have
a hook develop at 12 when our quarte$ack takes
seven steps.
