The New York Giants utilize many tactics to exploit defensive strategies and tendencies. One method to combat aggressive press-man defenses is to employ rub-route concepts. The objective of a rub concept is for one receiver to set a pick - like in basketball - on a man-covering defender, allowing the other receiver the space to break free like Queen in The Works.
A RUB CONCEPT frequently draws yellow laundry when not executed properly. The receiver that runs the pick must display his hands, lest offensive pass interference may be called. He must act as if he intended to receive a pass and not just Dennis Rodman the defender.
