Jimmy Graham was aligned on the left side, close to Lockett. Such a formation allowed Graham and Lockett to crisscross their release, with Lockett releasing inside on his “shallow cross” route and Graham then releasing outside. The route combination that followed, “Flanker Drive”, was former 49ers coach and general manager Bill Walsh’s favorite because the shallow cross first attracts the underneath coverage, while the “Basic Cross” (in this case the in-route by Graham) trails the shallow at the intermediate level — 13 yards on this play. (An additional shallow cross from the opposite side by Jermaine Kearse provided a further “Mesh” combination, which is particularly effective against man-to-man coverage).
