Pairing Inside Veer with Load Option

Option on Me



Option on me gives the quarterback some leeway to read the defense and make a call based on what he sees. He can run the inside veer when he sees no invert outside defender on the openside tackle side of the field. Essentially he is running inside veer to where the invert defender isn't. He can also check to Midline to the tight end side at the 2 or 3 tech if he sees two outside invert defender. This means there is a 6 man box and the offense has the numbers, so the offense should run inside. The quarterback can also check to load option to the tightend side if he sees either no invert defender to the tight end side or two outside inverts with either a 6i tech or a 5 and a 7 tech. Again, the offense has the numbers and wants to take advantage of that.



Overall, I think there are many pros and cons when running th option game this way. The first pro is that the offense always is set up to win, they will run to wherever they have numbers. There is no need for motions and shifts, so the defense can't adjust by alignment. If the defense adjusts, you check to a different option. Its keeps defensive coordinators guessing, and always wrong. The cons to this is it takes a smart, selfless, and quick thinking quarterback. If the quarterback can read the defense correctly, it will work. However, a coach i putting a lot of faith into a kid from ages 15-a8 to read a defense, make the right decision, and make it quickly. If the wrong read is made, the play can get blown up, and people could possibly be hurt. This also puts a lot of faith in the fact that the QB can do this quickly. If the quarterback doesn't read this fast enough, there could be delay of game penalties. Finally, this offense system doesn't account for shifts by the defense or any type of stemming bu the outside invert defender on cadence. If the outside invert stems inside on cadence, or moves outside from inside, all of the reads the QB just made could be wrong and the offense could lose numbers. Overall, i feel this is a good system, but only works with a smart, selfless, quarterback under center.
