Breakdown

PA Mtn Slide is a play-action pass out of Shotgun Slot Right that uses a run fake to hold the linebackers before attacking downfield. The diagram shows a deep corner route from the outside receiver, a vertical seam or post from the inline receiver, and a red flag route breaking outside from the slot, while the backfield player runs a slide protection path across the formation to help the line. This is a man beater built to stress the deep half of the field, with the primary read starting on the flag route for a quick outside pocket, then working to the vertical route up the seam if the flag is covered, and finishing with the deep corner as the home run shot.

Defensive Reads

Watch the linebacker depth at the snap, if they step up hard on the run fake you have a clean window to the seam and flag routes underneath. Check safety alignment before the snap, two high safeties usually means the corner route has to fit outside the numbers and away from the deep half defender. Against zone coverage, look for the flag route to sit down in the void between the corner and the flat defender for an easy completion. Beware of a user controlled safety sitting in the middle of the field, since he can jump the seam or corner route if he reads the play action quickly. If the defense brings a blitz off the edge, the slide protection should hold up long enough for the quick flag route to be the answer against man coverage.

Usage Tips

Sell the run fake by holding the ball and eyeing the mountain motion before resetting your eyes downfield to the flag route breaking outside.

Use this on early downs when defenses expect run based on personnel or hash alignment, since the play action freezes linebackers and opens throwing lanes.

If the corner shows single high pre-snap, prioritize the deep corner route on the boundary since safety help will be shaded to the seam and flag.

Hot route the flag route to a quick out if you see press man on the slot defender to give yourself a faster completion versus blitz looks.

Pair this with HB Iso or Inside Zone Split earlier in a series to condition the defense to bite on run action, then hit them with PA Mtn Slide for the big play.
