POST PATTERN
Post pattern is a recieving route that is used in [[canadian]] and [[american]] [[football]]. A predetermined amount of yards is run (usually 5, 10 or 15) before a 45 degree cut towards the middle of the field (ie. the posts in the endzones) is made. This allows the reciever to run in front of a person in the opposing defenses' [[secondary]], making it harder for the defense to prevent a completion or intercept the ball.
This pattern can be run a quick, short route for fast yardage or on a long, deep route for large amounts of yardage. As a result, the pattern is very versatile and can be used effectively in anything from professional football to casual touch football.
