Here's a nice play design using 2 TEs (12 personnel).
Right side: Levels concept
Left side: Triangle stretch


DEN drops 8 into coverage. I think it's 3 deep (blue), 5 underneath zones. The Corner route occupies the weakside Curl defender (red). The Flat route occupies the weakside Flat defender (orange).


Red is vertical stretch, orange is horizontal stretch. Clears room for the Crosser.


Different coverage beaters to each side of the field gives the QB options for half field reads, based on the coverage he sees.
He's a nice pic of what Kelly wants to accomplish on his inside and outside zone read plays.

The images below are some examples of some wrinkles Chip used at Oregon. It's almost like a triple option type attack accomplished by motioning WR or other Backs into the backfield. Now I don't know how much of this was featured in philly but it looks like he has it in his playbook. I think Bruce Ellington could be effective on stuff like this.

This gif that I found shows a Kelly play that uses the wheel route out of the backfield as a vertical threat and to help clear coverage for the mesh routes that he like to run underneath.


This play art shows a sample Kelly play showing that wheel route from the backfield and the mesh routes underneath.

I also discovered Kelly has a nice little play that works off of these types of plays.


This play here shows that type of play. You still have the wheel from the backfield, but in this case the guys that usually run the mesh routes instead run whip/pivot routes. It's a nice little companion play that can get the defense overplaying the mesh concepts and gives those whip routes some separation.

Need to be careful with this thread - you are confusing Geep and JTOM

NT about to blow up this play. The center is the key blocker here, the NT has the proper leverage.

Here's this same concept to the strongside. It's Mesh (red, orange) + Shallow Cross (red, green) over the middle. If the deep safety over plays the middle of the field, then it creates a real isolation of RB wheel versus LB up the sideline.
(2015 week 3) - vs Cover 1
Chip loves to flare out his RB to create movement in the middle of the field, and this wheel route (yellow) plays off of that tendency.


This is the keyframe that shows the LB overplaying the flat route. That LB is way too up close to the RB and leaves himself vulnerable to a turn up field, which is exactly what happens.


Isolation up the sideline.

I'm looking for ways that Chip tries to defeat the two coverages that the 49ers have faced the most over the past few seasons - Cover1 and Cover3.

Sail concept vs Cover3
Sail is one of the most common ways to bust cover3. The secret is in dressing it up and finding new ways to run it out of different personnel groupings and formations.


Red 'takes the top off' of the coverage. Meaning he removes the deep zone defender on that side of the field.


This isolates the yellow Sail route and the Flat route (orange) on the strongside Curl/Flat defender (blue), who is vertically stretched.

This is a nice blocking scheme on an inside zone play where the two TEs execute an assignment swtich.

On a normal inside zone blocking scheme, this might be the blocking assignment as the covered TE (red) blocks the DE lined up across from him, and the uncovered TE (yellow) moves to the second level. But this is a very difficult block for the red TE because he has to reach to his inside to gain leverage on a much bigger defensive player.


The solution is to swap assignments. If what shown below is done, the block on the DE is much easier for a TE as he already has the positioning advantage. Then the red TE pulls through to go to the second level.


The yellow TE is already in position and all he has to do is not get over run. This reduces the amount of footwork that has to be done had the blocking assignment in the first picture been done.




+6 yards. Not a huge gain, but I like how the two TEs work their side of the formation.
James light football did a breakdown of Chip vs Seattle and the cover3. Besides Sail here was another way he did it. Switch and a wheel combo


Here was the gif he provided
Here is the exact same concept as above but the the QB Sanchez f**ks up bad and misses a total blown covers on the bottom #2



I love this thread, thanks guys!
