Breakdown

Mtn DBL Swing lines up out of Singleback Bunch TE with 11 personnel, showing two swing routes stacked underneath a bunch alignment. The bunch releases into a corner route up the sideline, a deep in that settles over the middle, and a flat/out breaking to the sideline, while the backside receiver runs a deep vertical up the numbers. Both swing routes create a double flat concept at the boundary, giving the quarterback an easy checkdown against blitzes while the corner and deep in stretch the field vertically and horizontally. This is primarily a zone beater built to attack flat defenders and hole players with layered horizontal spacing, with the double swing as the first read and the deep in or corner as the progression against soft zone drops.

Defensive Reads

Pre-snap, check linebacker depth and alignment near the line of scrimmage since aggressive blitz looks or nano blitz packages get exposed by the instant double swing outlet. Watch for cornerbacks pressed on the bunch, if they show man coverage the corner route and deep in become tougher to complete and the quarterback should lean on the swing as a checkdown. Post-snap, key any user controlled defender flowing to the flat, if he commits hard to one swing route the opposite side swing or the deep in sitting in the void becomes the better target. This play struggles against zone coverage with disciplined flat defenders who sink and squeeze the swing routes, so look for Cover 3 sky or Cover 4 shells that funnel help underneath. Blitz packages that bring extra defenders off the edge but leave the middle hook zone vacated get hurt by the deep in route, so identify where the middle linebacker drops after the snap.

Usage Tips

Use this play on third and short or in obvious check with me situations since the double swing gives instant access against pressure.

Pre-snap, identify if the defense is showing two high safeties, if so the deep in over the middle will have room to sit down in the soft spot.

Against man coverage, hot route the backside vertical receiver into a slant or drag to create a quicker man beater since the double swing can get sniffed out by linebackers who are keying the backfield.

Sequence this play with Mtn HB Screen or HB Pump Draw earlier in a series so linebackers bite on backfield action, opening up the swing routes for bigger gains later.

Pair this call with Cross Drag or Stick from the same set to keep defenders guessing between quick game and swing concepts out of the same bunch look.
