to the deeper crossing routes.... but I don't agree that 'crossing routes take time to develop'. Not all anyway. In fact, a quick slant off the LOS is probably only 2nd in speed of execution to an immediate quick screen to an outside receiver. Both are one step drops. Using a quick slant as the safety valve is lightening quick as well... even if it develops into more than a 1, or even 3 step drop.
Semantics! A quick slant is a quick slant. I believe the article was talking about medium to deeper crossing routes which do indeed take time to develop. Those crossing routes that are successful are when AD is double or triple teamed and the rest of the DL can't beat the one on one. I think we have been pretty successful at limiting big gains on any gains on the quick slant this year. Speaking of successful slants, Montana use to eat us alive with the slant.
