Speed Option

We would option the end man on the los, and have the playside back attack the first man to show outside the pitch key's shoulder. If he stretches, we stretch with him, to the sideline even. Puts the pitch key in a bind. Then, when/if pitch key closes, we are loading the alley player or scraping LB. He will rip with his inside arm, as the pitch man arcs to the outside. The thing that must be worked on is getting the backside rb, the pitch man into a good 5x5 relationship. You can do this with real quick motion, and we have found that it is so quick, the defense is unable to adjust by the snap, so there is little or no disadvantage to the motion.

We will run this to the open side and load the EMLOS with the RB, but it is a much better play to run it to the closed side and load the first man out side the TE and then pitch off of who ever shows.. Great play for us when ran to the TE.

Coach Campbell you said you tie the veer and speed option together, what determines which you would run? Thanks.
