Outside Veer

History,

Most of us who run the veer for years ran it or run it today out of the Pro "I" with the dive back (FB) directly behind the QB with his knuckles at 4 yds off the ball. His attack land mark is the outside hip of the PST (play side tackle). Even more important than his path, is the path of the QB who must attack his read, The EMOLS (end man line of scrimmage) whoever that may be (DE,SS,OLB) at a downhill angle and not parallel to the LOS as it is a good preventer of his path getting bubbled and getting a fuzzy read from his dive key. Other coaches run the veer out of a variety of formations, I just always prefer the Pro "I"
personally, although I ran it out of the bone for long years also with a great deal of good results.

By OLB being outside, is he on the LOS or off? If he is off then we read the 7 tech as he is the EMOLS, if not we would read the OLB and block the 7 tech. I DON'T BELIEVE IN BREAKING THE RULES. You've lost me about running an outside veer with the FB "staying home"? The OSV is a triple option, how can you run it by the FB staying at home? You've lost me in your thinking. Are you running it out of the bone with the other 2 backs or what? What is accomplished by keeping the FB in his original alignment in the PSL, as that is what the terminology "staying at home" means? Please explain further.

Coach Easton

That is correct. The rule, never to be changed on the OSV is to read the last man on the LOS. Don't break the rules, if you start doing that confusion will reign!

Coach Easton

QB is not to come down the line PARALLEL, BUT RATHER STEPS TOWARD THE LOS AND ATTACKS HIS READ DOWN HILL BEHIND A SURGE OF THE OFFENSIVE LINE.

Coach Easton

Hope it helped you.
