We've started running both the Inside and Outside triple option veers from Split Backs. I’d really like some criticism on our system, which is very basic, as I am intent on tearing it to pieces if I find a fault… if I can do it then an opposing defensive coach can and will do it.
Considering the defensive formations we see in Ireland, our blocking on the Inside Veer is a double team on the Nose, or anyone heads up on the PSG and in. The T blocks the nearest ILB, the TE blocks the SS and we call the first defender from the B-Gap out the Dive read and the next defender outside that the Pitch read. Usually a DE and an OLB respectively.
For Outside Veer, we leave anybody heads up on the TE and out as the Dive read and everybody blocks down, with the TE and T on a combo to nearest ILB. We have a receiver take the SS and option the CB.
We have brought in an adjustment audible to change the play from one to the other, so the QB checks the defensive alignment and has the ability to call whichever of the two he considers will be most effective. (Well, we’ll call Inside Veer, and he can change it to Outside Veer if he sees fit and vice versa)
We are the first team in Ireland to attempt to install the Option offense – even though we are not a fully committed option team… yet! – and it is clear that even with our small experience using this style of play, opposing teams do not know how to deal with it. The only two changes defenses have made so far, in an attempt to stop us, is putting a man On or shading inside the Tackle and getting him to try to hold the Tackle in place so that the QB gets a ‘give’ read but the ILB isn’t blocked.
The Outside Veer takes advantage of this by running off the tackle, while the defender willingly offers himself up to be blocked.
Because of time constraints (we only get to train for 4 hours a week) and the fact that a lot of our blocking schemes are quite simple, we have chosen not to attempt to coach our O-Line against a series of scenarios – ie ‘If the defender does *this*, you do *this*’. But to stay on top of the defense, we feel that the adjustment audible will pretty much open up anything we see on the line. We’re giving the responsibility to our QB, but he’s very good at making reads.
Sorry for the long post…
Anyone care to take a crack and tell me what I’m doing wrong, where we will be exploited and, perhaps, how we could improve on the above?
