best option pass/play action

Dave:

The TE needs to get width on his arc release to stay away from the FS. As he Arc releases, he should put up his hands to simulate the stalk. AS long as he stays on the seam, the TE can continue upfield, but alot depends on how the FS is playing. Once he gets past the OLB, he should look immediately for the ball...esentially a TE Dump. We have the QB use his veer steps, quick ride to the FB, and raise up and throw the ball. He may have to take one step back to get the timing down. If he takes too long, the FS has time to get over to help.

We especially like the Arc pass from a Twins look with the TE on the backside. Some defenses put the CB on the TE side up like a OLB. Now if the FS cheats to the 2 receiver side, the CB has no help behind him. After running the option to the TE side with the arc block on the corner, Option Arc looks exactly the same initially. The corner comes up for run support, and the TE runs on by.

As I said earlier, we like running Option Arc to our twins receiver too. He fakes the stalk and then runs by the SS. This year, I'm thinking about calling both the Option Arc pass and the the backside post on the same play. Now if the FS flows over the top, the QB reads the safety vacating the middle of the field, and hits the post over the top. Currently, if we call the Post, the QB takes three drop steps after the veer fake.
