Or do you just let him keep coming and keep pitching quickly to the TB?

Let him coming and then quick pitch off him. Its a good play this besides the lead is known as an openside Load Option as I like to call it. But continue to pitch off him and bring your guard and tackle around on a duece combo to the playside LBer. Coach Campbell

Coach C -

Wouldn't that crashing DE on the open side be the defender the PT and PG would duece/combo? I'm assuming you would be talking about a 2 or 3 tech (DT) and a 4 or 5 tech (DE). If he was a 5, would you not run either inside veer or midline since I know it is preferable to run the load at a reduced 5. I want to make sure I'm clear on this too. pdow
