BOB Protection (New Thread)

Now, when you add a back, does he duel read frontside and the uncovered ol would dual read weak?

Now if you add the TE, does the RB go away and the uncovered OL weak no longer needs to double read? How do the Frontside OL's change?

Thanks,

Coach in BOB portection with the RB and 5 OL's, how do you determine which side the RB goes? Do you call it, or do the players have to once they ID the defense?

Thanks,

Coach C -

We typically make our directional call at the LOS. For instance, if we are facing a 3 and a 1 tech, I might want to match our center on the 1 tech thus making the direction call opposite the 1. The guard vs. the 1 would be responsible for the dual read (one arm the 1 for the Center, check ILB to Invert)....the F would then dual read the opposite side. Callside G on the 3, callside T on the 5. This is gameplan stuff, so I prepare the QB to make the protection call based on plan at the LOS....what sort of problems might you see with this?

Can you make a call to the RB in Stay protection that makes him go to the TE side to pick up a secondary blitz?

Thanks,
