Breakdown

RPO Peek Orbit Bubble is a run pass option out of Shotgun Doubles Offset Wk with 11 personnel. The diagram shows an orbit motion receiver sweeping behind the backfield to bubble out to the weak sideline while the QB reads the box defenders for a give or peek keep, with the offensive line executing an inside zone blocking scheme up front. This is a run first RPO built to attack light boxes, with the primary read being the number of defenders crashing down on the run before working the bubble screen as the pass option.

Defensive Reads

Watch the play side linebacker depth before the snap, if he is sitting shallow expecting the bubble he will not fill the run fit in time. Key the flow of the orbit motion defender, a defender who mirrors the motion man out to the flat signals man coverage and opens the bubble throw. Identify slot cornerback alignment, a cornerback playing off and outside leaves the bubble screen wide open for an easy pitch and catch. Look for a user controlled defender lurking underneath in the short middle zone, this is the biggest threat to jump the peek route if the QB holds the ball too long. Against a stacked box with safeties creeping down pre snap, expect the offense to pull the trigger on the bubble screen rather than test the run fit.

Usage Tips

Check the box count before the snap and count defenders in the tackle box against your run blockers to decide whether to peek the run or throw the bubble immediately.

Use the orbit motion to identify man versus zone coverage, if a defender follows the motion man across the formation you are likely seeing man coverage and can hot route the bubble receiver into a quick out or slant for a bigger gain.

Attack early down and distance situations like first and ten or second and short when defenses are anticipating base run defense and leaving light boxes.

Pair this play with RPO Peek Slant and RPO Alert Bubble in the same set to keep linebackers guessing between bubble flow and inside slant windows.

If the defense shows heavy blitz pre snap, take the peek run read immediately since the bubble screen will not have time to develop behind a crashing edge.
