2 Back Zone Read

You have speed option coming out the backside when using a two back scheme. Coach Campbell

Are you talking about the RB taking the spot of the QB and pitching the ball? I like the idea but I would be worried about the RB getting enough practice time pitching the football. I have had the idea using another QB who gets reps at pitching the football for a handoff/pitch play off of the jet.

The QB is still reading the backside end/C-Gap defender coach.

I wish I could attach a picture to explain it a little better. I'll try with words again.

2 Back Gun (RHB, LHB)... twins Right (Y & Z)... SE left (X). Running Outside Zone Read to the RIGHT.

QB meshes with the LHB on the Outside zone read. Reading the Backside DE or C-Gap Defender.

RHB Takes 2 flat steps to the LEFT, appearing to get in the pitch phase with the QB on the pull read. On the 3rd step he plants and comes back at 45 degrees, in a pitch relationship (5x1 outside )with the LHB.

The LHB goes through his normal Outside Zone footwork, aiming at the outside cheek of the 'imaginary' TE's butt. He keys the first unblocked color to show as his pitch - likely it would be the SS.

I'm thinking that the Y (or Inside Rec) could get a block on the PSLB, leaving the SS as the pitch read for the LHB.

Thus we get the traditional READ on the BS 5-Tech; with a speed option look Between the 2 RB's Playside.

Thoughts

I agree that the amount of reps the RB's would need for the pitch would have to be figured into the practice plan.

Another way of teaching the footwork to the running back is to drop step him with his inside foot (closetest foot to the QB) and then bring him across on his mesh ride. Coach Campbell

theres numerous plays but we use only two methods one that puts him across the QB this moves the running backs shoulders at about a 45 degree angle and the inside scheme that squares the RB's shoulders when you want him coming out the same side that the QB is reading. Coach CAmpbell

It just came from some pencil scratchings late one night.

I did up a diagram of it I'd be glad to send it to you.

Maybe you can call it the "BlackFly Option"
