Curls are all about timing in this game. I think they beat soft man, cover 2 hard, cover 4, and cover 3 zones without buzz zones on that side. That's a lot of defenses!

I like to go and use curls against an opponent who uses base cover 3 a lot as it's a very safe, consistent call that can still go to the house if you shake that one CB behind him. Going to a safe curl route on a 2nd and long or even on a 3rd and medium is a great idea. I love seeing a base cover 3 when I come out with curl-flats called. It's easy pickings at that point.

Curls don't work against man press or cover 2 soft zone, so keep that in mind.

This may not have answered anything you were talking about, but I've been itching to talk a little bit about the curl route in M10 for a while now.
