Coaches,
We are having difficulty with our option game this season. We are a double slot-double split team. We motion on most plays, but we are having trouble with teams overplaying to our motion side. We having a counter option in, but it doesn't slow teams down as much as I would like.
Our biggest problem has been that our FB is getting tackled by the read man almost all the time. The QB does get a give read, but then the DE tackles our FB from behind for a 3-yard gain. Then we have one negative play per series and then the 3 yard per play doesn't keep us going. We use the point method if this matters. Is the problem that our fullback isn't moving fast enough? It seems that the hole is there and then it closes quickly.
Any help would be appreciated!
