Garbage video

I agree with what you are saying about cut blocks. I spoke to a coach in TX who has won back to back championships running the flexbone and he said he probably wouldn't run the option if he couldn't cut block. That shows how important he feels cut blocking on the perimeter is to option football. I think Parkview has been able to be successful without cutting because Coach Dietrich doesn't allow the defense to dictate who their reads are. He has figured out ways to always (or almost always) pitch off the perimeter support player instead of block him. That block on the force player is the most important and often most difficult one. When option coaches state that when you can't block a defender then read him instead, they are usually talking about a 3 or 5 tech but Coach Deitrich uses this on the perimeter also. Typical option theory but genius in thinking out of the box and applying it to other defenders on the field.
