Breakdown

Y Mtn Shock is a three level route concept out of Shotgun 11 personnel with a mountain (vertical stretch) shape to the passing tree. The backside X runs a deep vertical to clear space, the inline TE breaks into a corner route toward the far sideline, and the near slot runs a quick out while the receiver on the strong side pivots inside on a shallow drift toward the middle. This concept beats zone coverage by stacking a deep clear out with an intermediate corner and a shallow crosser, and the primary read progresses from the TE corner route to the shallow drift underneath if the corner is taken away.

Defensive Reads

Read the safety alignment before the snap, two high shells with soft corners are vulnerable to the TE corner route sitting in the void Watch for the flat defender jumping the near out route, a shallow corner or slot defender sitting at five yards will take away the quick throw Key the middle linebacker at the snap, if he drops into the shallow drift lane the quarterback needs to reset to the corner route or the deep clear out Man coverage on the backside vertical is a green light to work the shallow drift since the crossing action creates natural separation against trailing defenders Watch for a lurking defender sitting in the intermediate middle zone, since that player can undercut the drift route if the quarterback stares it down too long

Usage Tips

Use this against two high safety shells since the deep vertical on the backside occupies one safety and opens the TE corner route against the other

Check the near side linebacker depth before the snap, if he is sitting shallow you can hit the drift route immediately for a quick underneath completion

Hot route the shallow drift into a spot or curl if you see man coverage on that receiver, since it gives you a natural pick against man defenders crossing the formation

Pair this with Mtn PA Flood HB Leak or Mtn PA Spot on early downs to keep the defense honest on the mountain shape before dialing this up on third and medium

Use motion pre-snap to identify man versus zone, if the defender follows across the formation you know it is man and you should prioritize the corner route
