Beating the 3-3

Coach,

Tks for the input.

What type of pass routes do you recommend Vs Cover 3, which they will be in. Our base formation is the Flexbone (Like Navy).

Coach,

Tks for your input.

Is there another email address I can contact you at to continue our discussion?

Tks.

lotiefs@bellsouth.net.I know many people like to spread out a 3-3.I am just the opposite.I like the angles TE's get and WB's get on OLB's from this set.I much rather my FB or Slotbacks one on one with a CB or FS than a LB,especially if the DT's and LB's are playing stunting games with you. You can double the DT or the OLB every play!

Duke,

As I understand it, you have a couple of options.

1) Loop the PST to the OLB; DT is the dive key; SS is the pitch key (should be a pull...some coaches tell the QB to automatically pull it against this look...not a bad idea because the read happens so fast)

2) Zone block the DT and MLB with the PSG and PST; OLB is the dive key; SS is the pitch key (be careful of the MLB run through in the A-gap...PSG and PST should block the DT with their hands and keep their eyes on the MLB)

3) Block down on the DT with the PST and run OSV; OLB is the dive key; SS is the pitch key

I'm sure there are other ways to run a triple option at that front. Keep in mind that it is difficult for a QB (especially a HS QB) to read a defender off the LOS for the dive/pull decision.
