We play ateam this week that is in shotgun with one back. They have a TE to one side and wing to the other. They are good at pulling their gaurds. The QB will boot to either side with the guards pulling and run the recievers on drags to that side. The Qb is a good runner and throws on the run fairly well. What do you think would be the best way to defense this offense. This is the first year we have run the stack and we are having problems with booting qb's. I have told the outside spurs if the qb boots to treat as sweep or toss and to drive on him. Then they throw to flats behind them and they stop coming up. Would I be better driving the OLB and keeping the spurs in the flats. We have been lining our spurs out on the slots and when they run slots they will be out very tight to the split and I'm not sure the spurs should be way out there. Any suggestions would really help. This game has huge playoff implications.

Rossco45,

Tough question to answer - is this what they mainly do? Is the QB booting to run or pass or with a run/pass option?

A few possibilities:

1. Zone Blitz - send the spurs drop the ends versus a pass read
2. Sprint Contain with Mike LB (if he is athletic enough)
3. Play Games with your left and Right LBs / DEs. Start the LBs in the B gap and have them loop outside while the DE crashes in and vice versa.
4. Tight man and find a way to get the ball out of the QBs hands
5. Attach the A gaps with the left / right LBs or Nose tackle and get them to chase down the QB inside out.

Whatever you do mix it up as much as possible.

Rossco, the thing we do is when the spur sees boot or sprint his way he attacks the qb. We roll the coverage behind him. So when that spur goes, the corner to his side rolls up to flats, the free rolls over the top, backside corner rolls to replace the safety. Our corners have had some great INTs and some awesome hits from this. QBs are taught to make the easy throw. On boot the easy throw is that flat reciever. Against us (and I can only speak for what has happened against us), when that Qb boots one of two things usually happens: our spur hits the QB right up under the chin, or the Qb throws the quick flat route and the corner has a big play.

We teach the stack to the roll side to work outside the hash. Once he identifies boot he sprints, getting depth, outside the hash, then throws his eyes inside looking for the crosser. Coach we run this even if they gives twins and boot to the twins. There is probably a better way to do it, but this is what has worked for us. We hardly see boot anymore. We teach that spur to take his read step and then it is a dead sprint to that QB. He gets there in a hurry. We were like you and had a problem in the flat area until we started rolling the coverage to it. Like I said earlier, now we hardly see boot anymore.

Coach, When you roll your coverage, who has the backside thirds. If you roll left the corner has flats, free has his third and backside corner has free,s third. We were working on it in practice and worked great. What if they are in spread trips (trips right spread left). Granted the spur should get there before the pass is made to the single reciever. I just want to make sure on this.

Coach, we drop the backside spur. Now we know he is probably not going to get to what would really be the deep third, but we also know there are not going to be many kids that are going to roll out, have a defender run to his face, then be able to turn and throw it all the way back across field to the backside deep third.

With that being said, we also know that crazy things happen and about anything is possible on a Friday night. So during skelly a couple of times during the week we will have the QB roll or boot and throw back just to make our kids understand that someone may try it and they will have to hump it to get back. We try to create a situation where the QB has to throw into a hole, over the backside spur and out side the rolling backside corner. Could it happen yes, have we ever seen it happen in a game, no. However, now that I said that, I know we will see it happen to us for a touchdown this Friday night, lol!!!
