I am interviewing as well. Just left one yesterday in Southern Ohio....we'll see. My question is concerning the outside veer. I run a different type of offense based on the IV, Midline, with ower off tackle. I do not use a TE I have a slot in that position with flat backs. I like this set because it allows me to run the IV in either direction with some compliments to each (like arcing the HB on the LB, causing a combo when running the IV). I have 6 formations 3 are unabalanced and 3 balanced-I can run all my plays out of all 6 formations-passing is a little tough but we make do. I have your basic run n shoot set ( which I really like) as well. My question is this can I effectivly run the the OV with that slot or do I have to make him a TE? I have tried to incorporate schemes that will not require my H (slot) to block down on a DL. For example when we run power we kickout the DL on the OT not EMLOS, if the OG is covered the OT will Deuce, if the OG is uncovered our OT will basicaly pull out side for EMLOS or release inside (depends on what we see) Anyways, my question is this can your run the OV with the H and can you run the power with the H? I do not want to put the OV in and tell me H that he now has to combo, but on power he won't. I think it would be more efficient to do it one way or the other. What do you think?

Where I am at now we run a pro con flat back set and run the OV. It was our biggest play last year and we never pitched. I am just wondering if teams run the OV with a slot and not the TE. Vs. 43 we had a lot of success with the OV vs. the 50 no much because the combo on 5 tech was not good. I guess when the OG is covered run the OV and when he isn't run the IV, at least that is the rule I have been given.

I echo coach Lo's reply.....we run it the same way.

At the beginning of last season, our HC did not believe in the OV. Once he finally allowed us to put it in, he asked why we didn't make him do it sooner.....

Thank you! I could email you and send you the attachment if that is better?
