Breakdown

Jet 6 Soar is a motion-boosted vertical shot play out of Singleback Y Trips that stresses the deep half of the field with a soar (deep flag or corner) route paired with underneath crossers to hold linebackers and safeties. The jet motion across the formation forces the defense to declare man or zone before the snap, giving you a clean pre-snap coverage read, and it can also draw a free release against man defenses that try to follow the motion. This is a man beater first and foremost, with the primary read progression starting on the outside soar route against single high safety looks, then working down to the underneath crosser or check down if the corner sits on top of the route.

Defensive Reads

Check the safety alignment before the snap, a single high safety tells you the soar route has one on one leverage down the field Watch the corner over the soar route at the snap, if he opens his hips and runs with the route before the ball is thrown you have a legitimate man beater win Identify if the defense rotates to two deep shell after the jet motion, this usually shuts down the deep soar and means you should progress immediately to the underneath crosser Key on user controlled defenders sitting in a deep third or playing a lurk technique underneath, they can jump the crosser or bracket the soar if the offense telegraphs the throw Watch for disguised blitzes off the edge that come free when the motion man leaves his gap responsibility, this play is vulnerable to overload blitzes if the offensive line does not adjust protection

Usage Tips

Use the jet motion pre-snap to bait linebackers or nickel defenders into showing blitz or man coverage before the ball is snapped

If the defender assigned to the motion man follows him across the formation, that confirms man coverage and you should immediately trust the soar route on the outside

Hot route the underneath crosser into a sit or flat route against zone heavy defenses to give yourself a quicker rhythm throw instead of forcing the deep shot

Best called on second and long or third and long when you need explosive yardage and the defense is more likely to play off coverage or two deep shells

Pair this with HB Slip Screen or Bubble Screen from the same Y Trips set to punish defenses that start selling out to stop the deep soar concept after seeing it once
