Coach Campbell and other coaches,

I have read the manual and viewed the "Option on Me" video. Questions:

1. Can the Seal Option be a viable audible to the weakside if the five technique keeps coming down on the dive when we're running inside veer? I know that the veer is good if there is no outside invert over there, but is the Seal Option a good addition to the repertoire? Can we log the five tech and get outside?

2. Are there Option on Me rules for an I-Twins set? What about for an I-No TE/Three WR set?

3. Are there any unbalanced one-back formations where Option on Me principles can be used?

Just asking; thanks in advance for your ideas and comments.

David

1. The Seal Option works well but you have to have a smart guard sealing the DE. He has to know that he doesnt have to lay the hammer down on him. All he has to do is seal him inside. Alot of times I have seen the guard try to hammer the DE and he ends up blocking him into the play. It is more of a stalk block than anything else. He just has to keep him from coming back outside.

2. I read the option book by Homer Rice and his entire offense was 3 WR but with split backs. All you have to do is run the veer to the 5 technique. I am sure the attack from I-twins would be much the same, except now the TE has the force player.

If anyone (including Coach Campbell) can address my questions regarding Option on Me, I'd surely appreciate it. Thanks! David

Yes the option on me rules stay the same, but when going with a one back formation the plays are limited to load, speed and midline which becomes a double option with just a give or keep read. Reading the outside inverts is still the key. For example, a Twins set will give you the ability to break the triangle of a defense that normally has 2 outside inverts. IF a defense takes away the midline by giving you a 1 tech. to the TE side of a twins set, this will tell the QB to call Inside veer to the open side. Never let the defense dictate to you who is going to get the ball!!!

I agree with Coach Mac, however I don't believe you are limited to load, speed and midline from a one-back spread look. When you incorporate motion, you can still run the inside veer very effectively....the freeze option is another good option play from a one-back set, so long as you have a couple of guards that can run. Running the inside veer from a trips formation back to the open side vs. no invert can be a very productive play. pdow

Because of injuries this year, we ran the heck out of option on me with one back.
