This is the one play in the Gun Ace Slot Offset that has the big 1-play potential every snap of the ball; while other plays in this formation are great, this is the play that I feel gives you the best chance at the 1-play touchdown.
The setups that I like to use are as follows:
SETUP #1
1. Put your outside WR on a Fade Route
2. Pass block your left side TE
3. Put your RB on a Check and Release Route
4. Motion your outside WR from the left to the right, hike the ball after he gets set
Reads:
1. TE
2. Slot WR on his Post Route
3. RB on his Check and Release Route
SETUP #2
1. Block your left side TE
2. Put RB on a Wheel Route
3. Motion over your outside WR, once he is set, put him on an In Route
Reads:
1. TE on his Crossing Route
2. Outside WR on his In Route
3. Slot WR on his deep Post Route
4. RB on his Wheel Route
Substitutions:
I like to put my fastest WR in the outside WR position, and my best route runner on the inside (slot) WR position; but, I mix and match what I am doing during a game so I don't always have my players setup like this. For this particular play though, I feel, this is the best way to setup your subs.
