Breakdown

Double Go lines up out of Shotgun Deuce with 12 personnel, using both tight ends as receivers to the boundary and field sides. Both outside receivers run vertical go routes straight down the field, while the two tight ends run shallow crossing routes underneath that cross paths in the middle of the field, occupying the linebackers and safeties. This is a man beater designed to isolate cornerbacks on the outside on the double go's, with the crossing routes serving as a check-down or rub option against man coverage. The primary read is boundary go to field go, working outside to outside off the top shell, then coming down to the shallow crosses if both verticals are covered.

Defensive Reads

Identify press man coverage pre-snap on both outside corners as the green light to snap the ball and let your receivers win vertically. Watch for a single high safety rotating late, if he stays true middle he can only help one go route so throw away from his position. Two deep safeties in a shell is a strong indicator this play is taken away over the top, look to check down to the crossing tight ends immediately after the snap. Track user controlled safeties who bail late off the hash, since a heads up defender can jump the outside go route if the quarterback holds the ball too long. Zone blitzes or Cover 3 buzz looks with linebackers dropping into the crossing lanes will clog the tight end options, so be ready to climb the pocket and throw the deep ball on time.

Usage Tips

Use this play on 2nd or 3rd and long when you need an explosive chunk play against man coverage. Check pre-snap for single high safety looks, if you see one deep safety, target the go route away from the safety's leverage since he can only help one side. Motion or hot route a tight end into a deeper option if you diagnose zone coverage, since the shallow crosses will not threaten a zone shell vertically. Pair this call with RPO Read Snag or Inside Zone earlier in a series to get linebackers and safeties creeping up before hitting them with the double go over the top. Against aggressive man press corners, throw the back shoulder ball on the outside go rather than forcing it into double coverage.
