Let me if I can explain a combination route.

A combination route is when a receiver has 2-3 routes he can run and it is based on the reactions of key defender and pass coverages. Both the receiver and QB need to read the same thing.

Example: Out side leverage by a DB ( the DB is close to the side line taking away the out route ) the read is the SS and LB. If the LB move forward, the receiver runs a slant, if the SS moves up then the route changes to a fly, if both the SS and LB stay home the route is a dig. When the QB and receiver are on the same page this is can be hard to defend.

Now there is no way that you can tweak a base to have intelligence to read this and perform it. When to breake a route off because the QB is in trouble! No a tweaked base can't do that, know where the first down stick is and adjust the route beyond the stick ! No a tweaked base can't do that.

Precise routes, In, Out, Slants, Post Corner, etc need tobe run sharply, and can't be rounded off. I have never seen a base tweaked or not run the route like it is supposed to be run.

But if you can pretend that that is the route that was run then I can understand point of view .

I understand about tweaking bases, I tweak my own, however the point I want to make clear is this ( Player Intelligence ) There is no substitue !

If a person pretends it's there then I can see there preception
