Breakdown

Inside Attack out of Shotgun Y Trips Wk lines up three receivers to the trips side with a lone receiver isolated backside. The trips side runs a go route vertical from the outside stack, a slant flat combo underneath, and the backside single receiver runs a quick slant across the middle while the TE or inside slot works a curl. This is a quick game man beater built around the slant flat combo to attack outside leverage while the vertical go route stretches the safety and the backside slant gives the QB a fast, high percentage answer against man coverage or blitz looks.

Defensive Reads

Check the safety alignment pre-snap, a single high safety often signals man coverage underneath which favors the backside slant and slant flat combo. Watch the corner on the trips side outside receiver, if he presses or shows man technique the go route has a strong chance to win deep. Key the linebacker depth over the slot, shallow linebackers who crash down on the slant open up the curl behind them. Against Cover 3 or Cover 4 zone shells, the flat defender and underneath zone can squeeze the slant flat combo, so be ready to hit the curl sitting in the soft spot. This play struggles against disciplined zone defenses with a robber or lurking linebacker sitting in the shallow middle, since that defender can jump both the slant and curl routes.

Usage Tips

Read the backside slant first if the defense shows single high or man coverage since it is your fastest throw and beats press or off man cleanly.

If the corner over the trips side outside receiver plays soft or bails at the snap, work the slant flat combo underneath before progressing to the go route.

Use pre-snap motion or a hot route to convert the curl into a deeper option if you diagnose zone coverage with soft linebackers sitting underneath.

This play pairs well with Curls X Go or Levels Y Out from the same set since it looks identical pre-snap but attacks different levels, keeping defenses honest.

Best used on third and short or second and medium when you need a quick, decisive throw against a defense that disguises blitz or man pressure.
