Playbook: Carolina Panthers

Formation: Gun Bunch HB STR

Play: PA Bunch Shot

Setup:

1. Max protect
2. Put the RB/R1 receiver on a curl

Reads:

1. The main read is the X/Square receiver on the deep post
2. If that is not there look for the B/O receiver on his crossing route
3. Then look to the RB/R1 receiver on the curl route and you can also playmaker him

Overview: This play is unbelievable against zone coverage, as shown in the video pretty much anything the opponent runs the post by the X/Square receiver will be able to beat it over top. Then we also have the crossing route that is a very effective route mixed with the playmaker curl.

Play: Verticals

Setup:

1. Put the RB/R1 receiver on a streak
2. Motion the B/O receiver out to the right

Reads:

1. This play is mainly a two step read, look for the B/O receiver on the wheel route
2. Then progress to the RB/R1 receiver on the streak up the seam
3. If all else fails check down to the running back on the delay curl

Overview: Here we go over how the motion of the wheel receiver will spread out the defense leaving either the wheel or the streak wide open. Against Cover 3 and Cover 4 defenses you can quick hit the wheel as nothing will cover it quickly to the sideline. Then against Cover 2 defenses you can hit the wheel when he gets deeper along the sideline.

Setup:

1. None required

Reads:

1. Read the defensive end, if he crashed on the running back keep it with the QB, if he plays the QB give it to the running back

Overview: The read options so far have proven to be extremely effective runs in this game, especially if you have a fast QB. We always want to have a run to mix in with a prolific passing attack and this read option fits perfectly.

Reads:

1. Look for the X/Square receiver over the middle on his post

3. Then progress to the A/X tight end on the angle route
4. Finally, find the B/O receiver on the drag

Overview: In this video we are breaking down how to effectively beat man coverage out of this play. You can make use of the motion to free up more space for the drag route as shown in the video. However, this is also a very good quick snap play so your opponent does not have time to adjust, as these are all man beating routes as is.

Overview: Here we go over how to destroy all types of zone defense. We have a high low read going to the bunch side of the formation using the streak route as a clearout. Then we have the in route coming back across the field that will destroy the defense when the opponent users one of our routes to the sideline.
