Route tech

Honestly, not sure. I know it works with routes that have sharp cuts like a corner or post. My initial thought would be it's not that helpful on crossing routes because there isn't one sharp cut to create separation. Just a guess though.

I've also heard the route running abilities like short in elite and route tech aren't as good this year because it seems like they activate randomly but not every play like last year. Another thing to keep in mind is the route running boost from these abilities is more helpful for beating man than zone. Since zone seems to be more meta than man it might not be as necessary
