Four Verticals floods a two-deep coverage with four vertical threats: the outside receivers run go routes up the sidelines while the inner two bend to the seam, forcing the two deep safeties to choose. The back leaks to the flat as a checkdown. Drawn out of spread against cover-2, with each route on the football route tree.
