Option Vs 3-4 Cover 2

I think there are several things you can do.

1. double the 4 with psT and slot and run OV.

2. Base the 4 with the psT, put the guard on Backer, send put the slot on the OSB, read B-gap, and pitch off CB. If 4 is washed down pull, if 4 is steps out give to FB. If the backer blitzes B pull, as long as the 4 does not get penatration you should be good.

3. Veer everyone down and read the 4. if the backer blitzes you should have a G or T on him. the 4 will have to come down hard to take FB. You should be able to get four yards with the FB if the 4 is slow, if the 4 is quick enough to get to the FB then pull and pitch. put your slot and WR on the OLB and DB.

4. You could have the G and T both step in B gap and double the first thing they get to. If the four steps into the Double, you should run his butt to the goalline and give it to the FB. If the 4 steps out, give to the FB and kill the ILB with G and T. If the 4 backdoors the T, pull and pitch. The only problem is the center has to secure the playside A-gap. you need a good center.

CUI,

How did your game go against the 4-4?

Turns out our opponent did not run the 3-4, but instead ran a 4-4 (5 & 2 technique each side). They stunted their ISLB's a couple of times, once through our playside 'A' gap and our center did not get him, instead he went directly to the BSLB.

Also, they started having their OLB's run and cover the pitch man.
