“Option On Me” is an offensive philosophy that gives the quarterback the option to call the best of 3 option plays on the line of scrimmage. “Option On Me” can be used with any offensive tempo; hurry up, on the ball and or out of the huddle. The primary factor that determines which option play to be run is the quarterback's identification and location of the inverted or force defender. The inverted defender may be on the Open Side, Tight End Side or there could be double inverted defenders. The inverted defender is the key to the option play to be called, hence the quarterback has a read progression from the Open Side to the Tight End Side which is alos considered the “Closed Side.” It is important to note that the offensive formation(One tight End and Two Backs or 21 personnel) enables the inverted safety to be a reliable read for the best option.
Once the Side is the determined Open or Closed the quarterback will take his eyes to the first down lineman past the center which will activate the quarterbacks decision to one of 3 plays; Veer versus a Open 1 tech alignment, Midline versus a Closed 3 tech alignment, Load Option versus a Open 4i tech alignment and Load Option versus a Closed 5 & 9 tech alignment.
Giving the quarterback the ability to call the best play at the line of scrimmage definitely has its benefits especially if the offense can not just enforce its will upon their opponent, do to a size advantage, skill set or when facing a tilted defensive scheme.
Best Options pros and cons:
Pro: Gives the offense the ability to adjust the play once the defense is declared.
Con: The quarterback determines the play on alignment but doesn’t address the potential blitz.
Pro: On the L.O.S cal are good versus defensive with multiple fronts
Con:The defense can anticipate the offensive play based on the defense called
Pro; The option can be run to the weakness of the defensive structure
Con: The weakness of the defense could be the defenses individual strength or cluster of strong player
