PA Jet Sweep is a play-action pass off jet sweep motion out of Singleback Deuce Close 12 personnel that is built to sell the run before releasing three vertical stems. The outside receiver runs a corner route from the numbers, the inline TE on the strong side breaks off a deep out that snaps back toward the sideline near the first down marker, and the backside TE releases on a whip route underneath. The primary read progression starts with the corner route as the shot play, works down to the deep out as the intermediate zone beater, and checks down to the underneath whip route against man coverage or if the safety jumps the sweep fake.
Pre snap, check safety depth and alignment since a single high safety leaves the corner route on an island against outside leverage corners. Watch linebacker eye discipline at the snap, if they bite hard on the jet sweep flow the deep out and whip route will be wide open in the vacated underneath zone. This play struggles against a hard cover 2 shell where the corner defender has flat zone help and the safety sits over the top of the corner route, so bail if you see two deep safeties with press corners pre snap. Man coverage with a slot blitz off the edge is the counter to this play, since the play fake removes a blocker and the quarterback has less time to climb the pocket before the corner route develops. Look for a user controlled defender sitting in the shallow curl to flat area, that lurk threat can jump both the whip route and the deep out if you rush the throw.
Use the jet motion to freeze linebackers and safeties before the snap, then look off the play fake for a full count before working your progression.
This play beats teams that key hard on the run, so call it on early downs like 1st and 10 or 2nd and short when the defense is loaded up against HB Stretch or Zone Fake Jet from this same set.
If the defense shows two deep safeties post snap, prioritize the deep out breaking to the sideline since the corner route will be capped by the deep half defender.
Against man coverage, hot route the whip route into a quick option or speed out if you see a linebacker with no help lurking underneath.
Pair this with HB Zone Wk and PA Boot Slide in your play calling sequence so the defense has to respect both the sweep action and the boot action out of the same formation and personnel.
