Quick Reference
Breakdown
Jet Chip Wasp out of Shotgun Trey Y-Flex Str motions a receiver in jet action pre-snap before running a vertical stretch concept on the play side. The X and Y stack a chip release into a deep corner route and a skinny post that crosses behind it, while the outside receiver stems into a wheel from the boundary and the backfield adds a check release flare underneath. The primary read progression starts with the deep post/skinny crosser working over the middle, moves to the corner route stretching the sideline, and checks down to the underneath flare against pressure, making this a man beater built on the wheel and post combo isolating any linebacker forced to cover down the seam.
Defensive Reads
Pre-snap, check if the defense shifts a linebacker or safety to match the jet motion, that reveals man coverage responsibility Watch the deep safety alignment, a single high safety cheating to the play side signals Cover 3 and opens up the skinny post window If you see two deep safeties holding their landmarks post-snap, that is Cover 4 or Cover 2 and the corner route will be contested, so look to the underneath flare instead Man beater versus Cover 1 and Cover 3 due to the wheel and post crossing action creating natural traffic for defenders in trail technique Shut down by disciplined Cover 4 quarters shells with a robber underneath since the deep routes get taken away and the flare is the only outlet
Usage Tips
Send the jet motion pre-snap to see if the defense rotates or a linebacker runs with the motion man, that tells you if you are facing man coverage
If the corner route is getting bracketed by a deep half safety, work the skinny post first since it beats single high looks over the middle
Use this against Cover 1 or Cover 3 shells since the wheel route creates a natural pick and rub against man defenders trailing the crosser
Pair this call with RPO Zone Peek Pop earlier in a drive to get the defense biting on quick zone reads before hitting them with this shot play
Best used on second and long or third and long when you need a explosive gain since the deep routes take time to develop and need a clean protection
