Deep Cross

The Deep Cross tag flags every play built around a receiver working a deep crossing route across the field, the concept that punishes single-high man coverage and drags defenders through traffic in Cover 3 and Cover 4. It spans 26 plays across 5 formations and 25 sets, from base Deep Cross out of Singleback Doubles to PA Deep Cross play-action rollouts in Pistol and Strong I that pull linebackers forward before the crosser clears. Filter by this tag when you want a reliable man beater that works off your run game, then pair it with hot routes underneath so you always have a checkdown against the Cover 2 look that caps the crosser.
