Breakdown

PA Bubble Y Over is a play-action shot play out of Shotgun Wing Slot Wk that sells run action before releasing three vertical stems. The Y runs a deep over route crossing the entire width of the field from the strong side to the far boundary, while the two outside receivers push vertical up the seams to stretch the defense and clear underneath space. The backfield fake and the Y over crossing the formation makes this a man beater designed to exploit any defender who tries to trail the Y route across traffic, with the primary read progression starting on the deep over route as it clears the middle of the field before working to the vertical routes on either edge.

Defensive Reads

Identify single high safety alignment pre-snap since that leaves the deep over route with a soft spot behind the linebacker level once the play fake pulls defenders forward. Watch for man coverage matchups on the Y, since a linebacker or slower defender trailing the over route across the field is the exact matchup this concept hunts for. Beware of two deep safety shells or split safety zone coverage, since that takes away the big play window on the over route and forces you to check down. Key on linebacker depth after the snap, if they sit at their run fit depth instead of biting on the play fake this concept loses its explosive window and underneath defenders can rally to the crosser. Watch for a user controlled defender sitting in a lurk spot in the middle of the field, since that defender can jump the deep over route if the quarterback stares it down too long.

Usage Tips

Look for single high safety shells pre-snap since the deep over route will have room to work behind linebackers if the safety bites on the run fake.

Use play action from run-heavy personnel and distance situations like second and short or first down to maximize the freeze on linebackers and force man defenders to stay with their assignment through the fake.

Hot route the outside vertical to a comeback or dig if you diagnose two deep safeties, since the over route becomes tougher to fit into coverage without extra time from the fake.

Pair this play in sequence with Orbit Outside Zone or Mtn Inside Zone from the same set so the run action mirrors the actual run plays and defenders start biting on the fake.

Take the deep shot on early downs against aggressive man coverage teams, and check down to the flat or checkdown option if the pass rush collapses the pocket before the over route clears traffic.
