Scissors

The Scissors tag flags plays built around crossing vertical stems, typically a post and corner (or deep out) from stacked or bunched receivers that release and cut across each other downfield. It spans 51 plays across 5 formations and 45 sets, from Singleback and Shotgun dropback versions to I Form, Pistol, and Strong I play-action rollouts, which makes it a go-to filter for beating single-high man coverage and holding safeties in Cover 2. Competitive players use this tag to pull every Scissors variant into one list so they can stack the same read from different personnel groupings, then mix in hot routes and pre-snap motion to disguise which receiver is running the corner.
