• Once the tight end breaks towards the corner, throw a hard bullet pass towards the right.
• The split end does not get jammed at the line of scrimmage if bump-n-run man coverage is called.
• The split end gets open in most cases once he breaks to the inside. Watch to see if the defender is covering him behind or in front. If the defender is behind him, throw a hard bullet by pressing the left stick at the 3 o’clock position.
