Unfortunately, not really. It's not that passing to backs is a bad way to attack cover 3, it's just that it's not the ideal way to attack it. There are a couple nice weaknesses when attacking cover 3 that do actually include Boyd. One way you can attack cover 3 is by running double vertical seam routes. By attacking both sides of the single high safety he can only get over to help on one. If you run dagger concepts or clear out concepts under those seams the hook zone defenders have to decide to carry the seam into help (if there is any) or to drop down on the underneath route.
The other really good option for cover 3 is what are called flood concepts. You are essentially attacking three levels outside the hash with something like a flat route, out route and go route. What happens is the curl flat defender gets put into a conundrum deciding to come down on the flat or get depth on the out. The deep 3rd corner is going to get ran off on the go route so you have a two on one situation now. Depending on checks, you can force the defense to then play split coverage to the 3 receiver side choosing to check into man and that is when you can take advantage of one on one combo routes to Chase. The other option here is if they stay cover 3 to the three receiver side they may check to what is called "mable". In mable they play cover 3 to the three receiver side then play man on the backside, this is another way we can isolate Chase in one on one situations.
