Landmark on Inside Veer

Coach Easton:

Do you think your aiming point offers something different or better than the way we do it? We aren't having trouble neccessarily, and maybe if it isn't broke, I shouldn't try to fix it. But, I also think that if there are benefits that a tighter landmark offers, I might have a reason to change. For example, maybe a tight landmark forces the dive key to make a more pronouced decision, i.e. an easier read for my QB. On the other hand, maybe the difference is so slight that a change is not worth it.

I like the idea of the BROWN SPOT aiming point. after the first step, (if the FB is aiming at the spot), he will actually be at the outside hip of the G when carrying the FB. If you are aiming at the outside hip of the G from the first step, then the DE or read man definitely is at an advantage when squeezing. that one short step away gives the FB or offense the advantage. IF the QB does give, the difference between that one step is an 'arm' tackle compared to a 'stuff'. The arm tackle turns into a 3-4 yd gain and i will take it. I think this makes perfect sense!

Hang 50,

My philosophy has always been: the wider the splits, the deeper the penetration. Go with what you know, coach.

Coach Easton -

Check out Carson Newman sometime. They start their tackles at 6 feet and the guards are at 3 foot. they have been doing this for 20 some years...

Plenty of room to find daylight....
