Create Unbumpable Routes

This is a concept I use in many of my money plays. It allows you to get 2 or 3, I have a play or two with 4, unbumpable rotues in one play.

It works best when you have a compression set. What you should try to do is get routes that cross the unbumpable. If they unbumpable is headed inside and being run by an outside receiver, you should try to get an inside receiver running an outside route. He will then, most of the time, become unbumpable as well. It works almost 100% of the time in compression sets to get you more unbumps in one play.

If you have a nice idea but can’t get it into a compression set, don’t panic cuz you can still get the same effect on many plays.

1. Put a Split Backs 3 WR play in your audibles
2. Call Weak I WR Option
3. Audible to the Split Backs 3 WR Play
4. Form Shift to 4WR Flex
5. Make it a play action
6. Form shift back to Split Backs 3 WR
7. Cancel the play action to steal the routes
8. Form shift back to 4 WR Flex
9. Send WR#1 on a streak
10. Motion WR#1 past to the left and then back to the right, just as he passes the TE, going back to his original positon, call hike.

WR#1 is now running an unbumpable streak. If you like this play itself, you can hit him on the streak by taking a 2 step drop and throwing a bullet with pass lead up.
