Breakdown

Mtn Out N Up features pre-snap motion from the backfield to the boundary receiver, who runs an out and up along the sideline to attack a cornerback playing outside leverage or a squatting corner in zone. From Trio Y-Flex, the slot receiver runs a quick out that settles into the void, the tight end runs a vertical seam up the middle of the field, and the backside receiver runs a corner breaking route with a hard stem before angling to the sideline. This is a man beater built around the out and up double move, with the primary read starting on the out and up receiver to see if the corner bites on the out step, then working inside to the seam and out route if the double move does not create separation.

Defensive Reads

Watch the cornerback aligned over the out and up receiver before the snap, if he is playing tight press man with no safety help over the top this route wins immediately. Key the free safety depth and rotation after the snap, a single high safety who bites down on the underneath out route leaves the up route wide open for a explosive play. Track the linebacker or nickel defender assigned to the motion man, if he mirrors the motion into a man match look the out and up double move becomes a live progression read. This play is vulnerable to a two high shell with a cornerback playing outside leverage and a deep half safety, since the safety can undercut the up route before it develops. Zone blitzes with a corner sinking into a deep third can bait the quarterback into throwing the out and up into a trap, so confirm man coverage before committing to the outside read.

Usage Tips

Use the pre-snap motion to identify man coverage by watching if a defender follows the motion man across the formation.

If the corner squats or trails on the out step of the out and up route, hot route the seam runner to a hitch to give yourself a quick underneath answer.

This play hits hardest against single high safety looks and press man because the double move forces the corner to commit early.

Pair this play with Mtn Out H-Angle or Mtn Slot In from the same set so the defense cannot key on the out and up look off of motion alone.

Best called on second and long or third and long when you need a explosive gain and the defense is more likely to play man across the board.
