Option out of the I formation

CALL ME AT 864-353-9654 AND I WILL GIVE YOU WHAT I CAN TO HELP YOU AND YOUR GUYS! I RAN THE OPTION FROM THE BONE AND THE "i" FOR LONG YEARS ON THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL, AS WELL AS, THE PROFESSIONAL MINOR LEAGUE LEVEL IN WHICH I ALWAYS KEPT AN OPION PACKAGE JUST AS ADDED THINGS TO MAKE THE OPPONENT HAVE TO PREPARE FOR.

Coach Schwender,

Having your QB run straight down the line of scrimmage only invites penetration from the DL. Your line must have an explosive DOWN HILL BLOCKING CAPABILITY WHEREBY THE QB CAN ATTACK HIS READ IN A DOWN HILL POSTURE, NOT RUN PARALLEL TO THE LOS.

Coach Schwender,

Everybody has their techniques and you were very clear to me in what you were saying, not a problem.
I, personally, never want my QB attacking in any other direction than DOWN HILL. Once enjoyed a win streak in Florida's highest school classification of the time (4-AAAA) of 33-3, RUNNING THE ISV/OSV TRIPLE OUT OF THE BONE AND THE "I" FORMATIONS. Once we got the kids to understand the importance of a DOWN HILL LINE SURGE and the qb giving the ball right in the hole and not on the lip, we started winning on a very consistent basis. Combined with the point method employed by the QB instead of the "ride and decide" which enables the QB to have his entire body pointed directly down hilll at his read man, it becomes a very lethal combination. Just my way as always, but it is a proven set of tehniques that when coupled, I think you will be well pleased with the results.

I agree--my father was that way and i ran it close to that way when i was a qb in high school. Last year and the year before i was a middle school coach and ran the true triple option ofetn. I found it was easier to teach running straight down the line to younger kids because they then knew exactly where to go every time. I found that it was difficult in getting them to run downhill like that coupled with the different reads that the option entails. We brought in the downhill action of the QB in high school after the reads of the QB were mastered. Not saying that my way is better by any means--just that it made my team more consistent in execution. I would love to see some of your option stuff if you have time

Coach Nich,
Im certailny not Coach easton, but I can tell what we did. We tighten splits on ov and try to stretch the dive guy on iv. our fb was slow, so we moved him to steps behind the qb somehwere around 3 yards from LOS. we run a lot of 2 tite unbalanced and that has been good for ov and belly game

COACH SCHWENDER,

I APPRECIATE YOUR VIEWS AND YOUR POST. If what your doing seems to be working for you, then by all means continue in that vein. Like we always say, go with what you know and feel most comfortable coaching. There are lots of way to skin a cat. My post just best describes what worked best for me and I believe in it's rewards. I'm sure you feel the same way about your technique.
