Breakdown

RPO Peek Corner is a run pass option built out of Shotgun U Off Trips Wk with 12 personnel. Backside off the trips, the outside receiver runs a corner route while the slot man works underneath to the flat, giving you a high low peek read on that side. The line and remaining backs execute an inside zone run scheme, so the QB is reading the alley defender or overhang to decide between handing off the zone run or pulling and throwing the corner. This is primarily a run play with a built in RPO window, and the corner route acts as a zone beater against light box shells or aggressive run fits.

Defensive Reads

Pre snap, identify single high versus two high safety shells since a two high shell often signals the defense expects pass and may soften the run fit, opening the zone read. Watch the flat defender or overhang player at the snap, if he crashes down on the run action the corner route behind him is wide open for the pull and throw. Man coverage on the outside receiver with no safety help over the top is a clear tell to throw the corner immediately rather than take the zone read. Zone defenses that sink two defenders under the corner route can take away both levels, so be ready to check the run if the numbers in the box are even. Watch for a user controlled linebacker sitting in the peek passing lane, since a lurking defender there can bait the QB into a pick if you force the underneath throw against zone drops.

Usage Tips

Check the box count before the snap and if the defense has six or fewer in the box, lean run and let the zone hit downhill. If a safety or corner cheats down to add a run defender, that is your green light to throw the corner route over the top since it signals man or an aggressive run fit. Use the flat route as your peek option against zone defenses that sink their corner or safety, since the underneath throw is faster to the flat and safer against pressure. Pair this call with Inside Zone or Same Side Zone earlier in a series so the defense commits to stacking the box, then hit them with the RPO corner shot once they bite. Save this for early down or manageable third down situations where defenses are more willing to load the box against your run personnel.
