Breakdown

60 Slide out of Shotgun Trips (10 personnel) sends the two inside trips receivers on vertical seam routes straight up the field while the outside trips receiver runs a slide route, releasing outside then breaking hard upfield toward the sideline after a quick out step. The backside isolated X runs a vertical release straight up the numbers, giving you a two man read on that side while trips floods the other. This is a zone beater built to attack the flat and seam voids in Cover 3 or Cover 2, with the primary read progression starting on the slide route for a quick access throw, then climbing to the inside seam if the flat defender jumps the underneath break.

Defensive Reads

Identify two high safeties pre-snap since this concept is built to punish Cover 2 and Cover 3 zone shells rather than man coverage Watch the flat defender post-snap, if he sinks with the slide route the seam window opens up for the inside vertical routes Beware of Cover 4 or Cover 6 shells where extra defenders can double the seam routes and take away the climbing read Man coverage with press corners can disrupt the slide route timing, so check corner depth and alignment before committing to this call Look for a lurking linebacker sitting in the shallow zone since he can jump the slide route if he reads quarterback eyes early

Usage Tips

Check the pre-snap safety alignment before the snap, if you see two high safeties sitting deep this play is designed to exploit the soft flat zone underneath them

Use the slide route as your first read on quick out and short yardage downs since it creates instant separation against zone defenders sinking into their drops

If the defense shows Cover 3 with a hard flat defender, hot route the slide receiver to a quick out or speed out to beat the sideline squeeze

Pair this play with Four Verticals or Curl Post Wheel from the same set to keep defenders honest on seam versus flat leverage without changing your formation tendencies

Attack this on second and short to medium distance when defenses are more likely to sit in zone shells rather than bring pressure
