Coaches,
In preparing for our upcoming season, I've reviewed a great deal of film from last year. It has become apparent that late in the season, a couple of 4-4 D teams that we played blitzed the daylights out of us, and we really had no answer for it.
I've consulted our staff and some of my coaching friends on this issue, but I wanted to put the question out there to you guys: What plays / schemes / etc. do you find successful against teams that blitz their ILB's frequently? We are a multiple 2 back offense (I, offset I, splitbacks, etc) with a base 1 TE set. Of course, we have the ability to go double TE or one back if necessary. We are not an option team. We threw the ball very successfully last year, but these two teams really shut down our run threat. We run a lot of ISO, toss sweeps, and misdirection in our offense. We also like quick dives and traps. Everything is structured into series. Our passing game is diverse (playaction, 3 step, 5 step, sprint out, etc)
In any case, our system is flexible enough to accomodate almost anything, so I'd be very interested to hear whatever suggestions you may have.
