Breakdown

PA Behind Fk Cheat Quick Out is a play-action pass out of Shotgun Tight Y Off Wk that uses a fake behind handoff to freeze the front seven before working a quick out breaking route as the primary target. The motion prior to the snap shifts the defense and helps identify man versus zone coverage, while the underlying route combo gives you a fast-developing zone beater against Cover 3 and Cover 2 flat defenders who bite on the run fake. Your first read is the quick out to the flat, then progress to the secondary crosser or check down if the flat defender sits and takes away the boundary throw.

Defensive Reads

Pre snap identify single high versus two high safeties, a single high shell with the corner playing outside leverage is a green light for the out route Watch the flat defender at the snap, if he sits on the quick out route without respecting the play action fake this concept struggles and you should move to your backside progression Key the linebacker depth after the run fake, shallow linebackers who bite hard open up easy throwing lanes for the out and any crossing routes behind them Beware of Cover 2 Man or aggressive nano blitz packages up front since the play action fake takes time to sell and interior pressure can disrupt the pocket before the out route is ready User controlled defenders sitting in the flat or playing a lurk technique can jump the out route, so have a hot route or check down ready if you see a defender sink into that zone before the snap

Usage Tips

Use the pre-snap motion to bait linebackers and confirm if you are facing man or zone by watching if a defender follows across the formation

Call this on early downs like first or second and short to medium yardage since the play action fake needs time to sell and is risky on obvious passing downs

If the defense shows a hard cheat blitz look off the fake immediately and get the ball out quick on the out route before pressure arrives

Pair this with Fk Cheat HB Stretch Behind and Fk Cheat Outside Zone earlier in a series so the run fake carries real weight and linebackers start cheating up

Hot route the quick out to a speedout or shorten the depth against aggressive corners who jump the route, and use PA Behind Fk Cheat Post Cross as a counter once the defense adjusts to stopping the out
