Deep Over

The Deep Over tag flags plays built around a backside deep over route that crosses the field at 12 to 18 yards, usually paired with play action to hold linebackers and open the intermediate window. It spans 4 sets inside Shotgun, including Trey Y-Flex, Bunch Spread Nasty, Deuce Close, and Y Off Trio Wk, tying together concepts like PA Deep Over and Mtn Deep Over that punish single high man coverage and soft Cover 3 shells. Competitive players use this tag to pull every deep over concept in a playbook at once, which makes it easy to build a play action package off the same run action or find a reliable man beater when the user defender is sitting on your quick game.
