Breakdown

TE Attack is a four verts based play action pass out of Singleback Wing Pair 13 personnel. Off the play fake, the two outside receivers push vertical seams while the inline TE releases on a deep in that crosses the field behind the linebackers, and the backside slot runs a go route to stretch the numbers. The HB checks down on a flat route out of the backfield as the underneath outlet. This is a flood and man beater concept designed to stress zone drops with four vertical stems while giving you a built in checkdown against man pressure, and the primary read progression starts with the TE crossing route in the middle, then works to the vertical seam, and finally to the HB flat if the coverage collapses on the deep routes.

Defensive Reads

Pre-snap, check linebacker depth and spacing, since walked up linebackers signal potential blitz which opens the HB flat as a quick answer against pressure. Read safety rotation after the snap, if both safeties bail deep on the vertical seams the middle of the field opens up for the TE crossing route. This concept beats single high man coverage because the crossing traffic creates natural rub opportunities against man defenders trailing the seams. Zone coverage with a deep middle defender can undercut the TE in route if that defender reads the quarterback's eyes early, so look to move the safety with a pump or eye manipulation. Watch for a user controlled linebacker sitting in the shallow crossing lane, since that lurk threat can jump the TE route and turn it into a turnover if the quarterback forces it.

Usage Tips

Use the play fake to freeze linebackers before you sell the deep shots, since the run action buys extra time for the TE crossing route to develop against man coverage.

Check safety alignment pre-snap, if you see two high shells the deep in route from the TE should sit in the void behind the underneath zone for an easy completion.

Against man coverage, key the seam routes first since natural picks from the crossing traffic can spring the outside receiver for a big play down the field.

Use this on second and long or third and medium when you need a chunk gain, since the flood concept forces linebackers to choose between the crossing route and the flat.

Pair this with PA Boot Lt or PA Boot RT in your play calling sequence to keep the defense guessing between rollout action and this drop back shot play off similar formation looks.
