Game plan vs. line stunts

Coach because I teach the zone blocking schemes the twist usually don't bother the running game, thats whats so good about the zone concepts because it prepares your kids for worse case senerios. If you are going to get a big dose of this in the passing game I would concentrate on the sprintout game because, if you pull your linemen over then its just like a full zone concept to the sprintout side, uncovered linemen hinge back. One reason I like the option game is that it slows defenses down from running alot of stunts etc, because of option responsibilities. We played a team this past week that leads are conference in defense and thats all they do and we beat them with the option game, for the most part they couldn't be right. Coach CAmpbell

Coach C -

Just a follow up.....played #1 ranked team in area...we won 28-7...they did no line stunts and very little blitzing. Most successful running draws, a little veer, belly g, midline, shovel, iso, and counter. Threw the ball about 13 times and hit them big twice on 4 verticals out of doubles set. Option game was ok..should have run more load option, as they played quite a bit of a 50 front with 4 techs....but other stuff was working well. Hope you had a good week. pdow
