Breakdown

PA Boot Rt is a play-action rollout out of Singleback Bunch Ace 12 personnel that pulls the QB to the right edge behind his blocking. Off the fake, the yellow route runs a deep corner route from the bunch that clears out the sideline, while the red route breaks outside then angles back over the middle as a crossing option, and the white checkdown works underneath from the backfield to the flat. The blue route on the perimeter runs a shallow drag that gives the QB a quick outlet if the pocket collapses on the boot. This is a man beater built off run action, and the primary read progression starts with the corner route up top, works down to the red crosser sitting behind the second level, and finishes with the underneath checkdowns to the flat and drag if both are covered.

Defensive Reads

Watch for a hard commit from linebackers on run action, since flowing hard to the fake leaves the red crosser wide open behind them. Single high safety looks are vulnerable to the deep corner route, especially if the corner biting on the run fake gets caught flat footed. Cover 2 or two high shells force you to abandon the corner and rely on the red crosser and underneath options, so identify safety depth pre-snap. User controlled defenders sitting the flat or spying the boot can jump the blue drag or white checkdown, so hold that route and reset to the crosser if you see a defender squatting outside. Fast defensive ends or edge rushers who do not respect the play fake can contain the boot and force an early throw, so check backside protection before rolling out versus aggressive pass rush teams.

Usage Tips

Run this on early downs like first or second and short to sell the run fake and hold linebackers, since the boot action only pays off if the defense respects the run threat.

Check pre-snap for single high safety or run blitz looks, both of which open up the deep corner route as a big play against aggressive fronts.

If the corner is jumped or the defense is sitting in a two high shell, work the progression down to the red crosser, which settles into soft spots against zone coverage.

Use the blue drag and white checkdown as answers versus blitz packages, since the boot action naturally buys the QB extra time to reset his eyes to the flat.

Pair this with a play like Inside Zone Split or HB Slash Fk End Arnd earlier in a series so the defense keys run action from Bunch Ace, then hit them with PA Boot Rt to punish overaggressive linebacker flow.
