Inverted Wishbone/Diamond offense

I'm looking at running these various play with zone blocking principle, ISO principles and power Principles. For example. If I wanted to run freeze option to the right, I would fake to the left FB, QB would reverse out to the right and have option with the TB who I would have counter step for timing. The right FB would lead outside. You could run this play using all 3 of the above mentioned blocking schemes. Certain schemes would work better against certain fronts but thats what game planning is all about.

Dive option to the right. I would use Iso blocking scheme to run this play. Fake to right FB. Send you tailback on the OLB as your Iso blocker. Run Option to your left FB who would arc course to the right. To compliment this play I would run FB dive to the right FB using what I call Zone/Seal blocking. FB dive to the right- center to right TE would Inside zone block. Backside TE would seal block. BS tackle would also seal block is he was covered (head up to outside shade) Guard would seal if defender was head up to outside shade. If he had an inside shade he would zone stretch base the shade. left FB would ISO block first OLB over first bubble inside the BS TE. Right FB would look to cut the play back. QB and TB would run option course to the right after giving the FB the ball.

You could run Power to your TB or FBs. If you ran power right to the left FB left tackle and TE would account for their insdie gap. Hold left DE with option course by QB and TB after hand off to left FB. If you ran TB power to the right I would fake FB dive left and have the QB pitch the ball back to the TB. Not a great play against a backside 9,5,3 or the 4-4.

Could run Iso to either the TB or FBs and well as inside zone, but this message has gotten long enough already. What I like about it is several plays look the same which creates confusion by the defense which right away puts us at an advantage.

I've just started tinkering with this formation last week. The more I put it on paper the more I like it. I haven't even looked at FB motion and things you can do with that or how to incorporate the QB into the running game (keeps, ect.). I know there must be information out there on this offense which I'll need to get.

I like taking a formation and tweeking it to fit what I would like to do. I did the same thing last year with our 3-3 defense. I never got any information (books, videos) but talked with several different coaches as far as alignment and from there made up my own slant calls/ blitz calls, ect. I'm planning on getting some tapes, books, ect this year for more ideas.

I run a formation that has 2 FB's (1 FB behind each of the guards) about 2.5 yds and a TB at 5 yds. Is this the formation you guys are talking about?

We ran this as an unbalanced formation and ran the option from it, the beauty is that we blocked inside veer to the short side and midline to the strong side the fb was lined up in a gap to get a good angle on the midline and the other back was behind the guard on the veer side We had our tb lined up at 7.5 yards. We checked to the play at the line that way the back would know what way to go. We only used the formation in one game, and they almost always gave us veer. Hope this helps
