option vs 30 stack question

Coach:

I like the "load" option to the tight end, though we slot the tight end. Many people believe that they can combo with the tackle/tight end to the "4" and stacked linebacker. I do not subscribe to that theory. We believe that you must combo to a player aligned more than one player removed. As such, we slot the tight end to block the stacked linebacker. The fullback blocks ("loads") the free safety who is the alley player, while the corner stalks or runs off the corner depending upon coverage. The QB will option the outside invert (many call the "spur") heading downhill at the inside jersey number.

Consider running this from "gun split".

Coach:

We would game plan; i.e., challenge our tackles to defeat their defender. However, some teams may slant or align in 5's. If this is the case, we may motion with a "jack" fold - tight end on the tackle with the tackle pulling around. We can also align in trips, as such by putting the fullback outside, he can still load the free safety, but the 30 stack must decide how to align, either by bumping the inside linebackers, or staying base.
