As long as your TE can get off the line and get in the 2ndary quickly, then the deep crossing and curl routes open up underneath the TE running down the field. This is why KC had a strong passing game with average WR's. The TE makes it all go against this type of coverage. I use to play HS football and most of the defenses we played used this type of covergae.

While this is true.... a 15-25 yd dig is one of the longest plays to develop. Curls work, and we do tend to use them as well, but with the corners easing back in the flats, it gets dangerous when you've got a noodle arm at QB. So therefore, CB's anticipate the flat pass, and jump the hell out of it. That's basically what our offense couldn't overcome.
The route that beats the cover 2, is the WR post & a TE skinny post. Both great plays for a QB who can place a ball well (and is tall enough to see the field). We'll see what happends. I'm excited.
