Packers Film Room: Breaking down Samori Toure’s first NFL touchdown reception

Two weeks in a row the Green Bay Packers offense called their corner post concept, once versus the Washington Commanders and once versus the Bills. In the first game, the pass fell incomplete after receiver Romeo Doubs did not adjust his route after Rodgers was forced to scramble. The second time, Toure adjusted his route and Rodgers fired one down the middle of the field for the touchdown on Sunday night.

Both play calls came on the Packers' corner-post concept. I have written extensively about the play-action passing game concept in the past. The play is a designed shot play in the Shanahan coaching tree system that seeks to take advantage of a secondary that might get overly aggressive in chasing the deep crossing route with the backside corner or cutting it with the safety, allowing the offense to hit the shot play over the top.
