90 Shallow

The Shallow concept has been around since the 90'the first time I read about the shallow concept was from Mike Shannhan.  It was adopted by the Air Raid.  Chris Hatcher uses Go Routs vs Tony Franklin who uses a post with the shallow route.  I do like the how Tony pre-snaps his deep routes but also add another check that is used in the Darren Slack R4 system where which he checks the deep route again after the quarter back hits the last step in his drop.   But the cardnal rule with throwing the deep ball is to throw it early.     CONCEPT: Hot , Shallow, Dig, Shoot
Pre-snap Post and Go if “0” cover or grass -  Shallow rules (eyes away from where shallow starts- if shallow starts on right side , eyes start left ,etc.)
