Breakdown

PA Boot Lt is a play-action rollout out of Singleback Wing Pair that pulls the quarterback left off a run fake to attack the flat and boundary. The route concept shows a deep corner route from the backside receiver, a deep crosser sitting down in the middle of the field, and an underneath flat route breaking to the sideline, giving the QB a full flood concept on the rollout side. The fullback or wing releases on a shallow drag away from the play to hold backside defenders, and the primary read progression works from the flat route underneath to the crossing route in the intermediate window, then up to the deep corner if the boot fully freezes the defense.

Defensive Reads

Watch linebacker depth at the snap. If they bite hard on the run fake, the flat and crosser will be wide open in the throwing lane. Key the flow of the defensive line and edge defenders. If they crash down on the fake run, contain rushers off the edge become the real threat to the QB on the rollout. Identify single high safety looks pre-snap since Cover 3 and Cover 1 leave the flat and intermediate crosser vulnerable to the boot action. Beware of a user-controlled defender sitting in the shallow crossing lane, as this is the primary lurk spot defenders use to jump the crosser route. Disciplined zone defenses that stay home on run action, like Cover 4 or Cover 6, can squeeze the flood concept and force a checkdown or scramble.

Usage Tips

Use this on early downs when the defense has shown aggressive run fits from linebackers, since the boot action pulls flow away from the play side and opens throwing lanes.

Check safety depth pre-snap. Two high shells with soft corners make the flat and crosser easy completions, while single high shells force you to trust the deep corner route or check it down.

Roll to the flat route first against zone coverage since underneath defenders flowing with run action leave that window open early in the rollout.

Against man coverage, work the crossing route since it creates natural separation off the rub from the formation and traffic near the line.

Pair this with 26 Duo or HB Inside Zone earlier in a drive to sell the run action, then hit PA Boot Lt once linebackers start cheating up on run keys.
