The HB Wheel route is an easy throw once you mess with it a little bit. Against man you can throw it right as the back comes to the line of scrimmage. Just bullet it to the right and for some reason the back will go out wide and leave his man behind. The motioned slant will kill man bump and you have the drag, streak, and the smart routed corner (on the left) as safety valves. The corner on the left is great against man without bump.

Against zone the HB wheel route is a good quick pass if they don't cover the flats, but if they do he will usually find a seam when he cuts up field. If not you have the streak, flat, corner combination on the right side of the field. The drag and the smart routed corner on the left (throw a bullet to the left as he is 3-4 yards from the sidelines and rocket catch it) are great safety valves.

This play, Stick, HB Draw, and Bench Switch are ridiculously hard to stop.

yeah man..I forgot to mention I prefer the running game in snugs over tight as well....

BTW ...nice write up...
