Breakdown

Cheat Ohio TE Attack lines up in Shotgun Wing Slot Offset with 12 personnel and uses a cheat motion pre-snap to shift the backfield alignment before the snap. Off the snap the outside receiver runs a deep vertical to clear the top of the defense while the inside TE breaks outside on a corner route and the slot runs a crossing dig underneath, creating a natural high low read on the boundary side. The backside TE releases on a deep out breaking to the sideline while the HB runs a shallow flare out of the backfield, giving this play both man and zone beating properties depending on which side the coverage rotates to. The primary read starts with the corner route on the TE attacking the flat to intermediate zone, then works to the crossing dig, and finally to the HB flare as the checkdown.

Defensive Reads

Presnap identify if the defense rotates a safety toward the cheat motion, which signals man coverage and opens up the corner route against a slower linebacker Watch the flat defender after the snap, if he sits on the corner route the crossing dig will be wide open behind him Against Cover 3 zone drops, the underneath zone defender has to choose between the corner and the dig, so read his hips to decide which route to throw Beware of a robber or lurk defender sitting in the middle of the field since the crossing dig route sits right in that throwing lane against Cover 4 or pattern match zone If the defense brings a blitz off the motion side, get the ball out quickly to the HB flare as a built in answer against pressure

Usage Tips

Use the cheat motion presnap to identify if the defense shifts a linebacker or safety, which tells you whether you are getting man or zone coverage

Attack the boundary corner route first against off man coverage or Cover 3 since the flat defender cannot cover both the corner and the crossing dig

If the defense shows two high safeties presnap, hot route the backside TE deep out into a deeper comeback to stress the sideline defender

Pair this play with Ohio Spacing or TE Spot Ohio in the same set to keep the defense guessing between quick game and this deeper attacking concept

On third and medium to long, trust the dig route over the middle since it settles in the void behind underneath zone defenders and in front of deep safeties
