ESPN Insider Route-Running Glossary

We put together a glossary of route-running terms to accompany an article by Seth Wickersham in the next (non-naked) issue of ESPN The Magazine. The ESPN folks have tossed it online for those who have Insider, along with a pretty little flash app that lets you click through diagrams of the various routes.

One I was hoping to see but didn't -- what's a "jailbreak screen"?

Found this on Insider, as well: http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/insider/news/story?id=4582045

The two main differences being:
1. Jail Break Screen, OL release down filed - Bubble Screen, OL don't release

2. Jail Break Screen, intended WR breaks inside after completion, Bubble Screen, intended WR breaks towards sideline after completion

I really want to read this. I assume many people have made some sort of joke about football "outsiders" on ESPN "Insider", so I won't even go there.
