Setup:

1. Put the A/X tight end on a drag route
2. Put the Y/Triangle tight end on a drag route
3. Block the running back
4. Motion the B/O receiver to the left a couple steps and hike

Reads:

1. The first read on the play is the B/O receiver over the middle on the post
2. If that is not there look to the X/Square receiver to the right side of the screen
3. If those fail check it down to either drag route

Overview: This play is very effect against all types of defenses. The X/Square receiver’s route is much like the route from PA Deep Cross however this one goes to the opposite side of the field. This will confuse your opponent and they will not be able to key in on routes.
