Singleback Y-Trips

Playbook: Arizona Cardinals

Formation: Singleback Y-Trips

Play: Four Verticals

Setup:

1. Hot route your tight end to a streak route
2. Block your running back
3. Put your RB/R1 receiver on a slant route
4. Put your X/square receiver on a drag route

Reads:

1. The B/circle receiver runs an unbumpable route. If you see press coverage, throw it to that WR (see video for timing). Against cover 2 or cover 2 man, you will have to lead pass to the sideline.
2. If the B/circle receiver is covered, look to one of the receivers underneath

Overview: If you see press coverage, audible to this play.

Formation: Singleback Y-Trips

Play: PA Zone Shot

Setup:

1. Hot route the B/circle receiver to a drag route

Reads:

1. Against cover 4 defenses, hit your X/square receiver deep
2. Against other defenses, read between your B/circle receiver and your RB/R1 receiver.

Overview: We need good cover 4 beaters because the main part of this offense attacks, man to man defense, cover 2, and cover 3. Once we effectively beat a cover 4 deep, our opponent likely won’t call it any more which is exactly what we want.
