Load option Question Dec 29, 2005 20:39:48 GMT

I am new to the arena of option football. However, I am intrigued by it and feel that we have excellent personnel for it. I want to run the load and speed. My question is blocking from WR. On speed, it seems natural to have my Wr block the corner. Now, on load, I would like to have my WR crack and we extend the option key to the corner. Is this sound? TIPS? Concerns? Thoughts?

Thanks

You have 2 to defend 2. That's not a good play. Stalk or runoff the corner and you'll be fine.

I like the idea of cracking on the FS with the WR and kicking out the corner with the FB. Still read the invert for pitch or keep.

This creates a tunnel for the tailback to run through. Coach Campbell
