Scissors

5 Formations45 Sets51 Plays

Overview

The Scissors tag flags concepts built on two crossing vertical routes, typically a post and a corner that intersect downfield to bend and break zone coverage while creating natural rubs against man. It spans 51 plays across 5 formations and 45 sets, from play action variants like PA Scissors and PA TE Scissors to compressed Redzone Scissors calls that attack the back corner and the seam on the same read. Competitive players use this filter to pull every high-low vertical crosser in a playbook at once, so you can stack the same read from Singleback, Shotgun, Pistol, Strong I, and I Form looks and punish defenses that key your formation instead of your route combo.
