COME BACKER (CB)
The Come Backer Pass (CB) is a misdirection type pass. It can be run from most all formations. At least three deep routes are run, but the primary receiver sprints for thirty yards then stops and turns very much like a hook or stop pattern. But the CB takes it one step further. Here, the receiver runs back to the quarterback at full speed.
The play is designed as a twenty yard reception. The theory is that by sending three players deep, then having one return so abruptly at full sprint will cause separation between the primary receiver and his defender. By so specifically outlining the primary receiver's retreat to the ball, the Come Backer Pass can be run as a timing pattern, allowing the quarterback to release the ball before the break by the receiver. The play is shown run from the Twins Left--Wide (split) Right Formation.
