For the Sail Switch, first, the quarterback must reach whether the defense is playing zone or man. If it’s in zone, the quarterback first reads the defender in the flat. If the defender sits, the quarterback hits the corner route. If the defender bails, the quarterback takes the flat. Against man defense, the quarterback takes his shot on the corner route.
