Gun Trips

Playbook: Carolina Panthers

Formation: Gun Trips

Play: Fade Stops

Setup:

1. Put the X/Square receiver on an out route and smart route him
2. Put the B/O receiver on a drag route
3. Block the running back

Reads:

1. The main read is the A/X receiver deep over top the defense
2. If that is not there check down to the B/O receiver

Overview: This video we break down how to bomb a Cover 3 defense and a Cover 1 defense at the same time. The out route is going to hold down the zone vs Cover 3 leaving the A/X receiver to be completely wide open.

Playbook: Carolina Panthers

Formation: Gun Trips

Play: Slot Corner

Setup:

1. Block the running back
2. Smart route the RB/R1 tight end
3. Put the B/O receiver on an in route
4. Put the X/Square receiver on a drag
5. Motion the RB/R1 tight end to the left

Reads:

1. The main read is the RB/R1 tight end on the post
2. If that is not there look for the X/Square receiver on the drag route
3. Then look for the B/O receiver on the in route

Overview: This video we break down a great zone beating concept with the use of a motion. Also be sure to watch the video as we break down a slightly alternate setup as well that is great to mix in so your opponent cannot key in on any route combinations.

Playbook: Carolina Panthers

Formation: Gun Trips

Play: RPO Read Bubble

Setup:

1. Motion the B/O receiver to the left

Reads:

1. Throw to the bubble screen if there are no hard flats on that side of the field
2. If there are hard flats read the defensive end and either give the ball to the running back or keep it with the QB and run with him

Overview: As we have broken down previously the RPO’s are very glitchy and can freeze the defense especially when they are in man coverage. This is a good play to mix in because it also gives us the option to hand the ball off from this formation or even take off with our QB.

Playbook: Carolina Panthers

Formation: Gun Trips

Play: Middle Slant

Setup:

1. *Have the trips to the wide side of the field*
2. Block the running back
3. Put the B/O receiver on a slant
4. Motion the B/O receiver across to the other side of the field

Reads:

1. The first read is the A/X receiver on the drag route
2. Then look for the X/Square receiver on the corner route
3. If that is not there find the B/O receiver on the slant
4. Finally, find the RB/R1 tight end over the middle on the post

Overview: This play attacks all areas of the field both high and low. Then the middle of the field has the slant and the post and basically the user will have to pick to guard one of them leaving the other open.

Playbook: Carolina Panthers

Formation: Gun Trips

Play: Sail

Setup:

1. Put the A/X receiver on a slant

Reads:

1. Playmaker the slant up and throw it to him against Cover 3

Overview: This video shows a cool trick to abuse a Cover 3 defense. The route by the X/Square receiver will make the cornerback follow him across the field. This will leave his Outside Third responsibility.
