Breakdown

Fake Jet Pass Power is a play-action boot concept out of Shotgun Empty Ace that sells jet motion across the formation before the QB rolls out behind a pulling power blocking scheme. Off the fake, the diagram shows a short flat route breaking underneath from the motion man and an intermediate crossing route working from the opposite side back to the throwing lane, giving the QB a two-level read on the move. This is a play-action man beater designed to freeze linebackers with the run fake, and the primary read progression starts with the underneath flat route before working back to the crosser if the flat is taken away.

Defensive Reads

Man coverage shells with linebackers stepping up on the fake are the most vulnerable to this concept since the flat route will come open immediately against man leverage. Cover 3 defenses that flow hard to the run fake open up the crossing route behind the linebacker level for a big chunk gain. Watch for a spy or contain defender assigned to the boot side edge, since that player can blow up the play before the QB gets outside the pocket. Zone defenses that stay disciplined and do not bite on the jet motion will have underneath defenders sitting in the flat route window, forcing the QB to hold the ball and take a checkdown or scramble. User controlled linebackers who diagnose the play fake quickly and lurk in the crosser lane can jump the throw, so avoid forcing this against defenders who have shown quick run pass recognition.

Usage Tips

Use this on early downs in run heavy personnel counts to keep the defense honest after establishing actual jet sweep or power runs from this formation. Watch the linebacker depth pre-snap, if they are sitting flat footed expecting run action, this play punishes aggressive run fits. Hot route the crosser into a deeper dig against teams that sit their zone drops short to remove the easy underneath completion. Pair this with Jet QB Zone and PA Jet Sweep in your play calling sequence so the defense has to respect the actual run threat before you hit them with the boot. Best called on second or third and short to medium distance when defenders are keying run first and biting on the motion.
