Breakdown

Under is a play action deep cross concept out of Shotgun Y Trips Wk with 11 personnel. Off the run fake, the backside X runs a deep drag underneath while trips side stacks a flood look: the inline TE clears vertically then runs an out breaking route in the middle window, the outside receiver runs a deep in breaking crossing route (levels), and the far numbers receiver on the trips side takes the top off with a go route while the single WR to the boundary works a comeback style drag across the field. The primary read starts with the deep cross working across the field, then progresses to the underneath out and the levels breaker as the QB works backside to frontside off the play fake.

Defensive Reads

Key the linebacker depth immediately after the snap, if they step up hard on the play fake the deep cross will have a wide open lane behind them. Watch the flow of the strong side safety, if he bites on the go route from the trips side numbers receiver the levels out underneath will be uncovered. Identify man versus zone by watching the cornerback on the deep cross release, tight man technique means the rub route created by formation traffic will spring him open. Look for a user controlled lurk defender sitting in the shallow zone, this play is vulnerable to a spy or rat defender jumping the deep cross route. Cover 3 with an aggressive underneath robber can take away both the drag and the out, so be ready to climb the ladder to the deep comeback or go route if the shallow zone gets clogged.

Usage Tips

Run this out of a run heavy personnel look on early downs to sell the play fake and freeze linebackers before they can drop into the shallow crossing lane.

Check the deep cross first against man coverage since the natural rub from the formation traffic creates easy separation against man beaters.

If you see two high safeties, work the levels concept on the trips side since the underneath out and deep in create a natural pick against zone beaters sitting in short zones.

Pair this call with Levels Y Out or Y Cross Flood later in a series so linebackers start biting on the play fake and open up the deep cross even more.

Use on second and medium or third and short when defenses are keying run, since the play action freeze buys extra time for the cross to develop.
