One Back Option From Gun Reads

coach,

ive been studying this type of play for some time. I am curious how much you feel its effective when the defense overloads the box. Is this a primarily a 6 man box play? or is this applicable throughout the entire offense? i wonder if its worth hanging your hat on, unless you pair this play with a pass check off, or other audibles?, i know every play can have bad scenarios, but i just dont like the defense being able to dictate what we do, so if theres any particular checks that you go, thats the type of thing i'd like to talk about........

We are looking into running triple out of the gun. We have tried it in practice. It looks great. Is anyone running it?

Thanks for any help.

Coach Campbell,

I read the backside end just like we read an OSV BSE. If he plays hard, pitch it. If he plays soft, cut it up or give it. If he goes to pitch, cut it up. How do you read it, Coach?

Coach Kramer,

I meant to send you some info as to how we run the Gun triple, but the season started and you know how that goes. I'd love to be able to discuss this with you at some point. Another team in state that is running the Gun triple and accompanying plays with suddess is Leavitt High School. I had the opportunity to speak with coach Hathaway a little after our exhibition game in August. I'll try to drop you a line this week.

JC - Our QB reads the backside jersey number of the end man on the LOS or the defender aligned on the backside tackle. We are looking for the heel line player to come down off the back heels of the tackle for the pull read and for him to slow play or work up the field for the give read. Coach CAmpbell
