Outside Veer from I-Formation

Hi coach, We run "wide" veer as one of our base options. We always try to run it to tight end side. Fullbacks path is the inside hip of the tackle. We simplify the blocking scheme by duecing a 5,7 or 6 and optioning a 9. Basically we block anyone inside the fullbacks path and option anyone outside of it. I believe the QB's steps are the hardest of all our options but once they get it they don't forget. 1. Right foot step to 5 o'clock. 2. Left foot follows to 5 o'clock (side by side with right foot). 3. Right foot steps to five o'clock again and the mesh begins. If the QB does this step by step it is too slow! So we have the QB use a skipiing motion on steps 2 and 3. So it is really 1. Step to 5 O'clock 2. Skip first left foot the right, mesh. It is a little awkward at first but they learn to get out wide fast enough. QB's like this play because it gets them out to the perimeter faster wer they can see the alley. Good Luck.

Coach when we run the outside veer from the I-formation, we have the QB take a hop step. He takes a 45' step and follows with a shuffle out to the mesh point with the FB. He should stretch out no longer then his playside knee. His back foot can help in the shuffle as a push off.

We have our qb hop to three or nine then take two steps (not long steps) towards the dive read. The qb will shuffle if necessary. The fb takes a 45 degree cross over step with his backside foot(like in belly-g) and aims at the but crack of the offensive tackle. We do not ride the mesh with the outside veer. The QB points the ball extended towards the read key and will handoff or pull once the mesh starts. This is very similar to the carson newman no ride mesh. We ran this the same way as a split back veer team. It hits a little slower in the I formation but I think our qb's read it more consistently. We also tell the fb to square up after he gets into the hole or the running angle is too wode and he is not gaining ground. This is a great play to either or at the goalline out of double tight with a flanker.

Outside veer is run to the outside hip of the PST. Qb opens and takes a 4 O'clock step (cover as much ground as you can cover with this step) Start reaching the ball back to the Fb and mesh. We read grass outside the PST, so Qb will get his eyes in that area during the mesh. Qb will then take a short catch up step (still meshing) and ride Fb into C gap. If nobody is in our read area we give, if bodies are in the read area (us or them) we pull. If you get a pull read Qb should attack the inside jersey number of the pitch key and read.
