No. Switch is not a concept, it's an adjustment to a route combination!
I see it on here all the time, concepts and combos are completely different ideas.... the former is the basis for the latter....
So it wasn't this?
Because this is what it looked like watching at game time. I called it a switch concept because I've seen what is circled here referred to as a switch concept.
That's a switch applied to that particular route combination... the switch can be used for any route combination to usually achieve a pick/rub vs man coverage (like the combo you just showed), to achieve a personnel mismatch, or confuse pattern matching zone coverages... the base combo you just showed is some version of verticals versus middle open, and they used a 'switch' with #1 and #2 to obtain some type of advantage versus the coverage...
Also, the graphic is incorrect in labeling that combo as based on a vertical stretch concept, it is actually a horizontal stretch of the deep coverage concept!
I hope that cutup of Juice and be posted, I don't remember it specifically or the coverage, but if I remember it correctly the combo was based on a horizontal stretch of the deep coverage...
