Ok things are s**tty in niner land so I decided to look at some happier times. Here is the game winning TD pass in SB23



1988 - "nod with Texas backside"

Jerry motions across to occupy the corner and widen out the safety. Rathman runs a wide route. JT runs a nod from a TE position, nod fools the Defender and he's able to beat the safety inside because safety shading over to help coverage on Jerry. On the backside TE Frank's runs a seam and Roger is running a Texas route.

Here is a replay of JTs Nod

1994 - "HB seam"

This play is a variation of the diagram below. We are using a different formation and it looks like we are play passing off of a different run action. However this play art has the HB seam route.


Here is s good view of the backs crossing.

1984 - "Bingo Cross"

Play art from the 1982 niners playbook.

1990 - FB Slide
We've seen that the slide play was a staple of Geep's offense,especially when Kap was at the helm. Look at Joe work this play....utter cool in the face of pressure and Rathman being the badass he is.

nice ZBS-tutorial, neglects the footwork though:

Here are some sample Kelly plays.


Drive-Texas....Flood

Double post/skinny/slant with a flat

Curl-flat

Kinda a speedo/pin

Dig/double whip/spot combo

Spot

Kinda looks like a levels concept.


1981 - "FB Slip"
Here's Joe first career super bowl touchdown pass. On this play you have a little double slant action with the twin forms. The FB fakes a block and then slips into the vacated flat.

Here are some good links that lead to more links about Chip's offense.

Includes: Variants of packaged plays, split zone, sweep, nut stunt (used to defend the inside zone run). The 'nut stunt' is as interesting as it sounds.

Best one is the running game concepts.

The funny part of this winning TD is that Joe had sent Jerry on a wrong Motion and if you watch carefully, Rice did not know what pattern he should be running.

Nice write up on Cover1 and its variants. If JoN retains his scheme from CLE, then this will be the predominant coverage call for the 2016 49ers. Also touches on the importance of the single high safety in Cover1.

Good stuff. This is a make-or-break year for Eric Reid in that single high safety role. Could earn him a big extension if he plays well.

That's a great little breakdown. I love it.

We need outstanding corners for this to work, that our an amazing pass rush.

Coach actually diagrams and explains this play at a Stanford coaching clinic. He also gets some nice shots in at Buddy Ryan lol. Fast-forward to 16:00 for his diagram of the play (he actually talks about the entire gamewinning drive for a few minutes before that):
