Shallow Cross

The Shallow Cross tag flags every concept built around a receiver running a shallow drag across the formation, usually paired with a dig, deep cross, or vertical clearout to stress both man and zone coverage at multiple levels. Spanning 6 formations, 64 sets, and 90 plays, it covers everything from Choice Shallow Cross out of Shotgun sets to Flanker Under and TE Under looks in Near, Weak I, and Split Backs. Use this tag to quickly pull up the mesh-adjacent and crossing route trees that punish man coverage and give your user-controlled progressions a reliable high-low read on every down.
