MINIMINI-CURL
CONCEPT
Spacing and the Mini-Curl Mirrored are cousins in the sense that they both evolve from the Flat-Curl family. They both offer something unique in that they speed up the timing of the FlatCurl concept and present a different challenge for defenses! Spacing is a 3 x 1 idea whose thought process begins with trying to get a one-on-one weakside, and is thus the Choice route of the Quick game! To the frontside, it is a triangle read that uses an Arrow, Mini-Curl, and a sit to create a 3-on-2 with good SPACING. The under coverage cannot get help to the weakside receiver and still have enough underneath defenders left to break on the three frontside spacers! Mirror is designed to isolate the flat defender and close the deal before he can get help from the CB or from the next inside LB! Its rhythm, in effect, eliminates the danger player! It is a 2 x 2 idea!
KEYS to a successful play:
Splits on the Mini-Curl! They are DIFFERENT than normal Curl for a REASON! SPACING by the three receivers in Spacing. Get good width on releases! Dont let one LB cover two guys!

Take one 45 step, then accelerate almost flat to the sideline, snapping your head around on your 3rd step out of the break without slowing down. Can turn up once 5 yds from the sidelines if you dont have the ball and theres no Quick Corner in the deep sandbox. FS OUTS: MINI CURL. You want to get the feeling of running a semi-circle around the flat defender and getting into the CURL. semiwindow inside him before he can react. For that reason, cut your split to Top #s (Hash +1). Use same components of Curl route, just shorter: Sprint to 4-5, Speed break to 7, Drumroll redirect back to QB at 7 after burst/lunge. Take an angle that gets 4gets you INSIDE the flat defender, INTO the window, then come back THROUGH it. Ball should be waiting on you. Make a 180 spin after catch, split the zone North & South. QB: Pre-read side with widest flat player/furthest danger player. 3-step pop-up, move the flat defender onto the Arrow with Pre3popyour eyes and shoulders, reset hips and hit Quick Curl in the window when he leaves. If he backs straight up, anchor step and and hit the Arrow quickly. Vs. Pressed CB, check out or check Fire. QUICKS MENU MINIMINI-CURL DIRECTORY
