Breakdown

PA Behind Fk Cheat WR Screen is a play-action screen concept out of Shotgun Tight Y Off Wk that uses the run fake to slow down flowing linebackers before releasing blockers out to the perimeter for a bubble style WR screen. The Fk Cheat motion shifts the backfield look pre-snap, creating a run alert that pulls second level defenders up while the screen sets up behind that flow. Your primary read is the screen itself: check the alley defenders and overhang first, and only work to any secondary underneath route if the screen lane is taken away.

Defensive Reads

Read the play side linebacker depth at the snap, if he crashes hard on the run fake the screen lane is wide open behind him. Watch for a user controlled defender sitting in a shallow zone or spy alignment, since a disciplined lurk defender can jump the screen and blow it up for a loss. Identify if the defense is in a zone shell like Cover 3 or Cover 4 with linebackers reading run first, this concept thrives against those since it holds the second level in place just long enough. Man coverage with press corners on the perimeter can be a problem if the defense also blitzes off the edge, since that removes blockers before they set up. Check for a nano blitz or edge pressure package pre-snap, if the defensive end is lined up wide and crashing fast, this screen can get eaten in the backfield before it develops.

Usage Tips

Use the Fk Cheat motion pre-snap to bait linebackers into flowing hard toward the fake run action, that flow is what opens up the screen lane. Call this on early downs or in run heavy personnel counts where the defense is geared up to stop Inside Zone or HB Power O from this same set, since the play action tag punishes aggressive run fits. Scan for overaggressive defensive ends or edge rushers who crash upfield on the fake, since that widens the alley for your screen blockers to climb into. If the defense shows a hard cheat toward the boundary or sits a corner low pre-snap, check the play down and consider going to PA Fk Cheat Quick Out or PA Fk Cheat Post Cross instead since those attack a softer shell. Sequence this with Fk Cheat HB Stretch and Fk Cheat Outside Zone earlier in a drive so the defense respects the run fake and linebackers keep biting on the motion and play action mesh.
