Breakdown

Mtn PA Double Post is a mountain motion play-action shot play out of Shotgun Doubles Y Off that sends both outside receivers on vertical post routes with mesh underneath, using the mountain motion HB fake to freeze linebackers and hold the safeties before the QB works the deep middle. The play-action fake on the inside zone look tests run fits and forces linebackers to bite, opening throwing lanes for the double post concept against man and single high shells. Primary read progression starts with the backside post if the safety bites on the run fake, then works to the frontside post, and dumps down to the underneath crosser or check release back if both posts are covered.

Defensive Reads

Check presnap safety alignment first, since a single high safety means the double post has a clear runway down the middle of the field. Watch linebacker depth and flow at the snap, if they crash hard on the mountain motion fake it confirms they are playing the run and the post routes will be wide open behind them. Identify user controlled defenders dropping into a deep middle lurk, since a rangy user safety sitting in the post window can jump both throws and bait an interception. Cover 2 and Cover 4 shells with two deep safeties are the primary counter, since they can rob one post while corners squeeze the other from over the top. Watch for a delayed blitz off the edge disguised as run support, since the play-action fake can hang the QB out if protection does not pick it up in time, forcing an early or errant throw.

Usage Tips

Use the mountain motion presnap to bait linebackers into flowing with the fake and to identify if the defense is playing man or shifting a zone shell late.

This play hits best against single high safety looks like Cover 1 or Cover 3 since both posts attack the deep middle where only one defender can help.

Hot route the underyard crosser into a deeper dig if you see Cover 2 or Cover 4 shells with two deep safeties splitting the field, since the posts will run into help.

Call this on early downs like first or second and medium to keep the defense honest against your run heavy mountain motion package, then pair it with Mtn PA Sweep H-Angle or Mtn Spinner HB Counter to keep defenders guessing on the fake.

Sequence this after running Mtn HB Base or Inside Zone a few times so linebackers start keying run fits and bite harder on the play-action, maximizing the window for the double post shot.
