Passing Game: Pick plays to run on 3rd down- Wheel concepts

This article looks at 1, 2, and 3 man pick plays that involve wheel concepts. You will often see these routes against man coverage, when teams know they are getting man. The situation is usually 3rd & 3 or 3rd & 4-6, heavy man to man situations.

Lets look at some concepts.

Kellen Moore runs 2 concepts of 3 wheel. He puts his best wr in the #3 spot. In LA he put Keenan Allen there. In Dallas he did it with CeeDee Lamb

Here’s the same play by Kellen Moore as the Bucs try to go man. They get confused on the backend and nobody takes Lamb. The defense is in man combo. They lock on #1 and #2 and #3 are being played with combination coverage. Easy touchdown.
