Yankee Concept with Double Post

by Coach Dan Casey

One of my favorite concepts is “Yankee” the Big Post with a Deep Crosser. I really like the way Rutgers ran it off Play Action with Split Zone Action and the potential for 7-Man Protection. They run Double Post to carry both the Field CB and the Safeties. The Deep Crosser from the Boundary is able to out run the Boundary CB to the opposite numbers.

  • Slide Protection to the Field

    • H-Back Split Zone Action Pass Pro

    • RB Check Release to Flat

  • Outside Stem Post from #1 to the Field

  • Inside Stem Post from Slot (#2)

  • Boundary Deep Crosser (Stair-Step the Route vs. Man)

This is a great way to isolate a talented Boundary with a horizontal stretch of the defense. The Wide Zone Play Action gives the Route enough time to clear to the opposite hash. QB reads Post to Crosser to Check Down.
