Backward C Corner route

[Arnysbill]

This pattern is in a lot of plays I run... but I'm not having much success with it.

Are u guys? What am i doing wrong... Takes a long time to develop.

Just so we're clear... it's the corner pattern that, if run on the left side of the TV screen, looks like a backward letter "C."

Cheers,

i know exactly what route youre talking about. not a huge fan of it.

usually the CB ends up blocking the WR from hitting the corner. The WR gets inside position then runs into the CB when he cuts outside.

since it takes so long, i'd hotroute someone else to a slant/out/in and if theyre not open look deeper for the corner. by that time it should have developed.

if you put it with other routes, it will kill a zone and a lot of man d's.

Yeah, I run that play out of weak I - twin WR. The outside WR runs the 'C' route, the inside WR I playmaker on a streak. I also package HB2 in at FB and will hit the flats if heat is coming. Works well against zone. Patience must be used against man b/c you have to wait for separation.

I agree with the last couple of posts. It is a great Man beater alone when your receiver is isolated with one defender. With a flat route and streak or curl, a deadly combonation is made. If you have pressure hit the flats or curl, if you have time hit the C-Route and pick up a nice gain.

I have success with it against Cover 2 zone.

pass it quick as soon as the WR gets inside positioning. precision the pass so that it goes up and right, if he is coming into the right.

Try utilizing the hot routed streak on the same side of the field. If you are in a formation with another WR on the same side of the field hot route him to streak. Otherwise use your TE or motion your FB to that side and streak him. This will occupy the safety and open up that route. Also, consider hot blocking your line to the sie of the play and that will allow your to roll a little bit with the C-Route thus creating a little better angle on the pass.....

One thing i've learned is you need a QB with good accuracy, and a WR with good speed helps too... Just pass lead to the outside after he makes the final cut and it should be open vs. man, and vs. zone if you streak someone to that side it will be open.

and this is with the WR on the left side running it

I use this as a quick hit instead of the slant and when I have time in the pocket I let the WR make the final cut then toss it up and manual catch it

I have labbed this route many times. You will make the catch more often and with better running room after the catch if you throw it just before or just as he makes the final cut. Don't wait for him to make the last cut, it will just allow the defender more time to close the gap, thus shrinking your passing window.

...and is a staple to my big gains. I usually run it out of Shotgun/2RB Flex/Corner Flats Under

I always make sure I run this from the right hashmark allowing my WR to use the wide side of the field. Then I playmaker both my RB's to pass block (because I need some time for this to develop), I hot route my WR on the right to a streak route and also select him as my primary WR. As soon as I snap the ball, I pump fake to the WR on the streak and the whole defense freezes including the FS and the RCB (LCB from the offenses perspective) allowing your WR running the 'Backwards C-Route' to get open near the sideline; this is where you hit the precision pass for high and outside. Now if the CB plays underneath my route and tries to jump it, I leave it in the hands of my 6'5" with mid 90's jumping ability WR's (Vincent Jackson and Malcolm Floyd) who dominate any CB because of there jumping and height. Please try this out, you'll be surprised the percentage of completions for such a slow developing play. $

that's a key to it, it works better throwing to the wide side of the field and also if you stre4ak a guy to occupy the safety

Precisely!

This is one of my favorite routes, its referred to in NFL terms as a 'climb' route. Its designed to beat a cover 2 scheme. The idea is to climb to the safety and then break to the sideline. In madden it works extremely well vs a C 2 or if you have a better speed matchup in man coverage.
I run with the raiders so moss is lethal on this route.

I have success with it against Cover 2 zone.

nice! it's a C2 Zone killer-hits it right at its weakness.
