PA Fk Cheat Post Cross

Key the middle linebacker at the snap, if he bites hard on the run fake the crosser will be wide open in the vacated zone. Watch for a single high safety rotating late, this is a sign of man coverage and the post route will have a soft window against a cornerback playing outside leverage. If you see two deep safeties holding at the snap, the post is likely covered and the crosser underneath becomes the better matchup against zone. Blitz packages that send extra rushers off the edge can beat this play if the fake cheat motion does not slow the pass rush, look for late rotating linebackers before committing to the blitz. A user controlled defender sitting in the deep middle third is the biggest threat to this concept, respect that lurk and check the ball down before forcing the post.
