Anytime two routes are designed to cross each other as close as possible aka "rubbing" so that their trailing defenders would either run into each other or the receiver to clear out is a "rub route." Almost every single play ran out of a bunched formation does this. This is how you manufacture someone open versus man coverage. Come on, even Madden-brainwashed kids these days know this.

It is what it is though. There's something hypocritical about watching fans of a team coached by Andy Reid bitching about this.

Yeah it's pretty hilarious. A blatantly "West Coast Offense" team with absolutely clueless fans complaining about one of the staples of their own style of offense.
