I guess this is why sometimes wrs take so long to develop. LolI'd love to get that playbook!
Here's my base snag concept from my own playbook out of 10 personnel, base 2x2 & 3x1. And it illustrates what we're talking about with spacing and landmarks.
Both plays have 1 - sit, 2 - corner, 3 - flat... creating the triangle that you were alluding to... but because of alignment, getting to those landmarks changes (especially that #1 WR). So instead of teaching a "sit route" by telling the #1 WR how to run, we teach where we want him to be. In this case, I teach "toes of the alley player". And that landmark changes as the alley player (overhang, flat defender... whatever you want to call him) is put in conflict.
If he quickly buzzes to defend the flat route, that sit route is gonna SIT right there in the space he vacated.
If the alley player sits in the alley/hesitates, we're gonna attack his depth, sit, push off his hip and pivot back out into space (but not into the flat).
That Corner route is only getting thrown vs. C2 or man if we have a matchup.
But I think this is a great illustration of how the same play can be run from different formations.
