Question for split-back veer coaches

IV, OV, Counter Trap, Belly-G, Belly-G option, Cross-buck counter trey, and passing game.


We line up in the I formation and shift to split backs. From the i formation on quick counts we run the mid-line, power, toss, inside veer.

I have been exclusively split back, and exclusively I formation before this year. I like the combination of the two for personnell reasons. We have no problem with the mesh from both sets.

Inside veer, outside veer, base dive, sweep, and trap from split backs.

Iso, sweep, power, counter, inside veer, and midline from I.

Our base offense has gone from an I-Option to a Multiple Option offense to a veer offense utilizing the I and split back formations. We plan to run the following:

I- Blast (Iso), Inside Veer Power (Kickout), Pitch

Split- Trap, Inside Veer, Outside Veer, Trap Option

Tell me what you think. Should I add something or should I take something out. Let me know. Thank you.

Coach mg thanks for your reply. What state do you coach? Also, what are your playside blocking rules on veer with your center, guard, tackle, and tight end. I was just curious. Thank you.

Coach Cella,

I coach in illinois. e-mail me and we can discuss more.

I used to run spread option with the jet sweep series. We ran the wing-t when I was a defensive coordinator at my previous school. As a head coach, I run the veer on offense with a power game. I know the jet series very well. I can answer pretty much anything you need to know about the system. Email me at CoachCella@aol.com and we'll talk.
