Delay

The Delay tag flags concepts where a receiver or back holds his release before working into the void: HB Delay draws rushers upfield before the back leaks through the vacated A gap, while Y Delay variants (Verts Y Delay, Flood Y-Delay, PA Cross Y Delay) let the tight end sit, then release underneath after linebackers commit to the vertical or flood routes in front of them. Spread across 2 formations and 8 sets including Trips TE, Bunch Str Offset, Trey, and Doubles HB Wk, these 10 plays are built to punish aggressive user-controlled defenders and blitz-heavy opponents who abandon the middle of the field. Filter by Delay when you want built-in blitz answers and second-level throws that do not require hot routes or pre-snap adjustments to create separation.
