50 vs. midline option and veer option

Our defense is a 3-4. We put our defensive end in a 4i and pinch him hard right into the fullback. Our inside linebacker attacks the fullback's outside shoulder. This stops the dive. Our outside linebacker will physically abuse the QB by attacking his outside shoulder and planting him into the ground. We will play cover 2 vs. the triple (if they are a true triple option team) and our corner and near safety will attack the pitch man. I hope this helped.

I don't run a double eagle front anymore. The problem with a double eagle out of a 3-4 is that the off-tackle hole is greatly exposed and that caused problems for me in the past. I haven't run a double eagle since 2002. However, the double eagle will cause problems for the dive on the midline. If they are an A gap veer team, it may cause problems as well, especially if the nose does not allow himself to be scooped by the backside guard. B gap veer is no problem though--they can run that without many problems. A deuce combo on the defensive tackle and an iso block by the slot, or a down block by the tight end will be all that is needed for the fullback. The double eagle is a good way to stop MIDLINE, but not necessarily veer. I hope this helped, JKeep.

I agree. If you TNT against me I would likely ISV or even better OSV you to DEATH.

Midline would be a no go, but it would open up other answers.

Jerry, hit the nail on the head. If you want to be bullheaded and run midline vs. a double eagle--go ahead. It's TOUGH to make it work. We check to veer vs. this front if midline is called.

Eagle down(place your tackle in a 2) on one side to take away one of your imediate Bubbles....This gives them one side to run ML.....Do you slant you front?:gift;
