Breakdown

Mtn PA Spinner is a play-action pass out of Shotgun Tight Y Off with 11 personnel that uses a run fake to hold the linebackers before attacking all three levels vertically. The outside receiver runs a deep out breaking toward the sideline, the inline TE (yellow) works a deep dig that sits down near the middle of the field, and the two remaining receivers push vertical seam and boundary go routes up the numbers. The design stresses zone defenses by putting a receiver in the hole at every depth while the go route on the far side attacks single high or man coverage down the sideline, and the primary read progression starts with the deep out, works to the dig sitting in the middle, then climbs to the seam or go route if the play action freezes the safeties.

Defensive Reads

Read the linebacker depth immediately after the snap, if they step up hard on the play fake the underneath and middle zones will be wide open for the dig and out routes Identify single high versus two high safety shells pre snap, single high means the deep out and go route on the boundary have a numbers advantage against the corner Watch for a user controlled defender sitting in the throwing lane to the dig route since that is the most vulnerable window if the defense reads play action quickly Look for Cover 3 zone drops where the flat defender widens with the out route, this opens a throwing lane behind him for the seam route Beware of a delayed blitz off the edge since the play fake and deep routes take time to develop, leaving the quarterback exposed if protection does not hold up front

Usage Tips

Use this on early downs when you have already established the run game so the linebackers bite on the play fake and open up the underneath and intermediate windows

Check the safety alignment before the snap, if you see two high safeties the dig route sitting down in the middle becomes your first read since it will settle in the soft spot between zones

Against man coverage, prioritize the vertical seam or go route since the deep out and dig can get picked off at the top by trailing defenders in man

Hot route the shallow out to a quick comeback if you see press man on that side to give yourself a faster answer versus blitz looks

Pair this with Mtn Spinner HB Inside or Inside Zone earlier in the drive so the run fake actually sells and linebackers respect the mesh point before you dial this up
