I just watched a segment on how NE revolutionized the slot with guys like Welker, Edlemann and Amendola. Three things IMO are the key to a successful slot receiver:
- Slot guy being able to fake the route and go another direction. Start in one direction, then quickly pivot and go opposite.
- Quick hitting plays that allow the slot use his speed and superior agility against less agile defenders. Regardless what the down the QB should be allowed to check to a slot play when opportunity presents. Kill! Kill!......
- Get the slot into those deep holes in any defense.
