Let’s get into the full breakdown!
Formation: Singleback Doubles Off Close
Play: PA Weak Flood
Setup:
- Make sure you are on the right hash mark
- Hot route your B/circle receiver to a streak route
Reads:
- Your primary read on this play is the X/square receiver deep. Lead pass up and to the sideline
- If he is covered, look to the Y/triangle receiver on the crossing route
- You also have your running back in the flat as a checkdown
Overview: It is very important to have your fastest wide receiver in the X/square spot in order for this to work. You also need a QB with very good to elite throw power to lead the receiver the way you need to.
Let’s take a closer look at how this play works.
This is how the final play art should look right before we snap the ball.
It is about at this point where our quarterback releases the ball. Once we get behind the cornerback and the safety turns his head.
We can also throw to our Y/triangle receiver on the crossing route if for any reason our X/square receiver isn’t open.
We decide to throw to the X/square receiver and walk into the endzone for an easy touchdown against cover 3 defenses.
