RPO Zone Stick

RPO Zone Stick pairs an inside zone run with the Stick concept out of Shotgun Normal Y Off Close, giving the quarterback a true give, throw, or keep decision based on the second level defender he reads. The Stick combo of a quick out, flat route, and stick nod attacks the same defender the run is designed to hold, making this both a run play and a zone beating RPO in one call. The primary progression is read the flowing linebacker or slot defender first for the give or throw decision, then work quick out to flat to stick nod if you pull it and throw.
