Goal Line Runs

Stick, the best running play I've found, besides option, is run from the bone. We are not a wishbone team (multiple sets) but will sometimes get in it to pound the ball in when an opponent gets in a 6-5. We'll know if their G/L defense is 6-5 from scouting. Start from a bone backfield with two TE's. Because a team will naturally put their best down linemen on their left side to negate our best OL, we may flip-flop our linemen to put our best on their worst. We'll call "Pro, Bone" to put them on the right and "Con, Bone" to put them on the left side. We'll either call "3" or "4". "3" means we're running left and "4" means we're running right. Let's says we've called "3". The center and BSG will block the guy in the BS "A" gap (probably a 2i). The PSG will block down (2i). The FB will lead into the 3 hole and blocks the middle LB. The OT will take his guy whichever way he wants to go. That is what makes this play so successful and it makes it easy for your OT. The DT can't be right. The playside HB fills the "C" gap and blocks the outside defender off the LOS The TE blocks out. The backside HB takes three steps to his left and cuts upfield as he gets the handoff. His eyes are up and he reads the block of the OT. If he blocks out--HB runs inside with the FB as a lead blocker. OT blocks down--the HB runs in the "C" gap with the playside HB as a lead blocker. The QB opens to the HB to make the hand-off and carries out a boot fake to the right. We will let him run it naked if the "D" is over-pursuing.
