load option

We fake the veer as well w/ the Quarterback and send the fullback to the free safety. The fullback has to move at 100 percent speed! Make this a major point of emphasis when coaching your fullbacks, b/c when i first starting running load, we didn't. I hope this helps.

We reverse our Qb out makes the Lb's freeze for a second and that helps to get our lineman on them a little better Get a good Trey block on the 5 tech with your TE and playside T. And pitch off the 9 tech vs a 50 look. If we face a really good DE I"ll run the load option right at him because we don't have to block him and we can just pitch off him. (whatever he does he's wrong) We usually have our FB offset ( I formation) arc and block the outside invert. If no outside invert is present he checks the playside LBer to insure he's blocked and if he is he moves to the next level and will load the FS. ( vs cover 3) We also run the shotgun some and when we do the qb just drop steps and attacks the inside jersey # of the 9 tech to try to get him to take QB, because we would prefer out TB handles the ball as much as we can.

I need a little clarification on the load. I was under the impression that the load was an adjustment to the outside veer, where the dive back logged the DE and the QB would option the alley player. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Would this be like lead option but changing the Dive Back's target? Do you still run a play where you load the EMLOS? We will face both a 4i-7 or 5-9(crashing end), and it seems this would work well. Perhaps in this case a flexed TE? Thanks for your help!
