Breakdown

Mtn PA Fk Slide is a play-action pass out of Singleback Wing with 12 personnel that uses a fake handoff to hold the linebackers before the quarterback works the boot action to the right. The diagram shows a deep corner/post breaking route climbing up the numbers, a dig route sitting underneath it working back across the middle, a flat/flag route bending out to the boundary off the play fake, and the offensive line executing a slide protection to the play side while a receiver runs a shallow drag away from the action to hold backside defenders. This is primarily a man beater built off the vertical stem and in-breaking dig creating natural picks, though the flat route also gives you a zone beater answer if the shell rolls down to take away the post. The primary read progression starts with the deep corner/post route on play-action carry, moves to the underneath dig if the safety commits to the deep shot, and ends with the flat route as the checkdown against pressure or tight man coverage.

Defensive Reads

Read the strong safety at the snap, if he crashes down on the run fake the post route behind him is open for a big play. Watch the flat defender's initial reaction to the play fake, aggressive zone defenders who step up to fill the run gap create an easy throwing window in the flat. Identify Cover 3 or Cover 1 shells before the snap since single high safety looks give the deep corner/post route the most room to operate against a lone deep defender. Cover 2 and Cover 4 shells with two deep safeties are the toughest matchups for this play because the post route runs directly into help over the top, so expect to check down to the dig or flat. Man coverage with a linebacker spying the play fake can blow up the boot action quickly, so if you see the middle linebacker shadow the quarterback's drop, get the ball out fast to the flat or dig before the pocket collapses.

Usage Tips

Sell the play fake by holding the run button long enough to freeze the linebackers before hitting the boot action, since a lazy fake gets diagnosed immediately by user linebackers spying the mesh point.

Use this on early downs or in play-action heavy sequences after you have established the run game with Mtn HB Dive, Mtn HB Slam, or Mtn HB Counter so the defense respects the fake and the linebackers step up instead of sitting in coverage.

Pre-snap, look for single high shells like Cover 3 or Cover 1, since the post breaking route has room to work behind linebackers who bite on the run fake.

If the corner sits deep and takes away the post, hot route the flat route into a quicker out or speed out to beat aggressive zone drops before the flat defender can widen.

Pair this with Mtn PA Boot and Mtn PA Cross in your play calling script so defenses cannot key on the boot direction, forcing them to respect multiple play-action concepts from the same formation.
