Checking In With Chip: Part 2




See the link below for the first part of this series. This article refers to a play in the first breakdown:



In week 3 of the preseason, the play diagrammed below broke a tendency for the 49ers, while allowing them to run one of their base concepts.




The formation is similar to the formation that the 49ers used in week 1 of the preseason, to hit their tight end on a corner route for a touchdown (see link above). This time, the tight end will release, and break for the corner route. Only to break the route off into a curl route after three steps.

The play works well against both man and zone, as a man to man defender will be thinking about the corner route after watching the film from week 1. The video below shows the play working, with a completion to the tight end. The Packers played man coverage, and the tight end was able to get open.


The whole field curl flat concept is a staple pass play for Chip Kelly. This adjustment allows him to run a concept that he already has in his playbook, while breaking the tendency of sending the tight end on a corner route from a closed trips formation. Two birds, one stone.
