Singleback Tight Slots

Formation: Singleback Tight Slots

Play: HB Wheel(bomb)

Steps:

1. Block HB
2. Out route B/Circle, or X/Square if flipped

Reads:

1. Drag to our TE or slot WR if flipped
2. Corner route with the high-low read
3. Deep bomb to the post;quickly vs a cover 2, or let it develop vs cover 3 or cover 4

Overview:

This is another deep coverage bomb like shown from Corner Strike in Gun Bunch. This one however has one less player blocking which will give us an additional read. The out route is never really a viable option on this play, which will give us a 3 man read. We first want to look at the drag, and hit it if it is wide open and take what the defense gives us. If it is not, look for the corner route, and also you can peek the post and see what defense it is in. I never wait on a play and skip wide open reads just to try and bomb, but if you see that the bomb is there and you have time then be patient and then throw it overtop.

HB Wheel(regular setup):

Steps:

1. Drag the TE

Reads:

1. The quick drag right away. If it is open, take it until your opponent covers it.
2. Quick glance at the HB Wheel. If the flat zone isn’t there, throw it
3. The corner route if the drag route pulls the flat zone down
4. A high low between the deep post and the dig route

Overview:

This is a very deadly play because we have all 5 players sent out on a route. We have nobody blocking, but we have multiple pressure releases that we can go to if your opponent does try to blitz you. The routes on this play attack every area of the field and really space out the defense.

Play: Drag Cross Ups

Steps:

1. Streak X/Square
2. Streak or Drag B/Circle(both looks shown in video)

Reads:

1. The quick throw to the streak routes down the seam,or the drag if you chose to drag one of the WRs
2. The quick throw to the wheel routes if no flat routes
3. The deep bomb to the streak, or the pass to the wheel in the vacated zone

Overview:

This is a very unique look that can be hard to duplicate in any other playbook. It is a good play to mix in with HB wheel and this play attacks areas of the field that are extremely hard to guard all on the same play. With the same setup, you can quickly throw a seam, bomb the defense vs a cover 3, and also get a deep wheel in the hole shot vs a cover 2 defense.

Play: HB Dive

Steps:

1. ID the mike on your opponents user to prevent shooting the gap
2. *Optional* Motion the A/Square receiver in and hike when he passes the right tackle

Overview:

This is a great up the middle run which you can either quickhike, or set up with a lead blocker by motioning the right slot WR across the formation but hiking pretty much as soon as he goes in motion. It is a good play to mix in with these great passing plays, and also with our other running play to create a good running combo.

Play: HB Draw

Steps:

1. ID the mike on your opponents user to prevent shooting the gap
2. *Optional* Motion the A/Square receiver in and hike when he passes the right tackle

Overview:

This is play two from our running combo from undercenter tight slots. This play is a great mixup because although it hits generally the same area that the HB Dive does, the timing on this play is much slower. What this will do is cause the defense to drop back into coverage and also possibly confuse our opponent and get him to step away and guard the pass. Make sure with any draw that you lay off of the turbo button until you are committed to a hole.
