From a shotgun slot formation the center and the slot receiver run combination routes – the center runs a hitch and the slot receiver runs a flag just behind the apex of the center’s route.  The goal is for the flag to provoke some confusion in the defense allowing the center to get the pass and run before his defender can react.
