Really, it's just two receivers running close routes and there's too much traffic for defenders to keep up. Similar to running a shallow cross over the middle, but in a smaller area.
Problem is that it's so subjective. There is no way everyone sees the same thing. Pick plays are the new normal. And until they let the defense rough up the receivers there won't be a way to stop them.
