Breakdown

Mtn Out H-Angle lines up in Shotgun Spread Y-Flex with 11 personnel and shows a motion man crossing the formation pre-snap before releasing into the pattern. To the trips side, the outside receiver runs a deep out at the sticks (red route) while the H-back releases underneath on an angle route out of the backfield (light blue), settling to the flat and giving the QB a natural high low read. On the backside, the two receivers run a vertical clear out and a deep crosser to occupy the safety and pull coverage away from the angle concept. This is a man beater built on the angle route creating separation against linebackers, with the deep out serving as the zone beater window against Cover 3 or Cover 4 defenses.

Defensive Reads

Read the safety alignment before the snap, since two high safeties suggest Cover 4 or Cover 2 and make the deep out the primary window against soft corners. Watch the linebacker assigned to the H-back at the snap, if he widens too early to cover the flat he opens up the angle route's inside cut for an easy completion. Identify man coverage by seeing a defender shadow the pre-snap motion across the formation, this confirms the angle route is the go to answer against man beaters. Against Cover 3, key the flat defender's depth, if he sits too shallow the deep out will sit down in the void behind him for a chunk gain. Beware disguised zone blitzes with five plus defenders shown pre-snap, since a nano blitz can collapse the pocket before the angle route develops, so check protection or hot route the H-back into a quick outlet if you see extra rushers walked up.

Usage Tips

Use the pre-snap motion to identify man versus zone before the snap since a defender following the H-back across the formation confirms man coverage and tells you the angle route will win.

Target the deep out route against Cover 3 cornerbacks who sink too early, dropping the ball in the honey hole before the underneath zone defender can recover.

Peek the angle route first on early downs and third and short since it is designed to create instant separation on linebackers who struggle to mirror the angle break in space.

Pair this play with Mtn HB Swing or Mtn HB Cross Screen in the same set to keep defenses honest against the backfield motion and prevent linebackers from jumping the angle route on film study.

Use the backside vertical and deep crosser as a full field progression check if the trips side is jumped, since the crosser can pull a linebacker out of position and open the middle of the field.
