Y Cross

3 Formations40 Sets51 Plays

Overview

The Y Cross tag identifies the 51 plays built around a deep crossing route from the tight end or slot, usually paired with a dig, post, or flat route to stress both man coverage and zone shells at the same time. Spanning 3 formations and 40 sets, from Shotgun Wide 5wr to Pistol Y Trips Wk, these concepts give you a built-in man beater when the crosser clears traffic and a high/low read against Cover 3 when the flat defender widens. Filtering by Y Cross lets you pull every version at once, including play-action shots like PA Y Cross Flood and Empty variations, so you can stack the same read across multiple formations and keep your pre-snap looks unpredictable.
