OK coaches, just a little something to get the option discussions going again. Let's talk adjustments to defenses designed to stop the three options used in the option on me series (i.e., Midline, IV, Load). We play out of a 40 nickel with multiple fronts. We align the tackles using the number of the technique for the strong side tackle first and weakside tackle e.g., 31 front has 3 tech strong and 1 tech weak.
To limit the ability to change the play at the LOS, I'll line up my tackles in a 22 front with the two ILBs stacked behind. Tackles will then randomly stunt to either A gap or B gap with the backers having gap and option responsibility for the opposite gap (this would be called by the Def. Coord., not on the field). We can do this to strong or weak side, neither, or both. This would hopefully have the effect of occasional missed blocking assignments on the dive portions of the Midline and IV. To take away the load phase, we'll align the strong side end in a 9 tech, and bring the SS to a 70 tech like a 4-3 defense on the strong side, leaving the weak side in a 5 tech and an outside invert. What changes do you make as the offensive coordinator to combat this.
