I-back crossing pass with two deep routes exchanging sides over paired underneath outlets.
The design
How I Back Cross works
- I-back crossing pass with two deep routes exchanging sides over paired underneath outlets.
- X and C cross into opposite deep windows without arriving at the same landmark.
- Z breaks underneath toward the left sideline and Y releases right from the backfield, giving QB two deep crossers over two outside answers.
