The spear concept consists of two posts from one side and a deep cross/over from the other side. The two posts are essentially clear out routes as the play is almost always designed to go to the deep cross. They always ran the deep cross to the field. They seemed to prefer running it against man coverage as the deep cross gives the receiver a lot of time to separate, and also as he is aligned tight to the formation he will almost always have inside leverage.
