Coach, in previous posts you mentioned that you run a counter play. Can you describe it and what action is it similar to? Also, you run G-Belly and OSV to attack the "C" gap. Is your QB footwork different on these two plays and if so do you worry about linebackers picking this up? Would love to talk more football with you and the others on this web site!

Coach, the footwork for belly-g is a reverse out. We also reverse out on our counter trap which attacks the midline to backside A-gap. The counter trap is such a great play for us, I feel it holds the lb when they see us reverse out which gives us a second longer to get to them on the belly-g. I have seen people run beely-g with outside veer footwork from the qb.

Our counter is a crossbuck where we fake an outside handoff to the backside back and give an inside handoff(qb must get depth) to the back getting the ball. We use counter trey blocking. I am not sure if this description gives a good mental picture or not. It gives the LB a split flow from split backs.

Coach, Thanks for the reply. We are an "I" team with two TE's, pro, slot and unbalancedcsets as our base package. We run a similar set of option and power plays as I think you do. You had mentioned that to the TE side you like OSV when the Guard is covered and ISV when the Tackle is covered. So you like OSV vs. the 4-3 but when the End steps inside with the TE's inside release and the OLB steps outside you'll run G-Belly. Against what other defenses do you like G-Belly? I am interested in this play as a companion to the Waggle (I need more play action). I want to confuse the End so he doesn't know if he is getting kicked out (G-Belly) or logged (Waggle). However I don't want to run this play if we can only use it vs. 4-3 as we play only one 4-3 team. Any thoughts? My e-mail is mwebster@pingry.org if you don't want to tie up this forum. Thanks!

We will run belly-g against every front other than a 6-2 and a bear with the ss in the c-gap and the defensive end as a box-contain player. If there is a playside a-gap player, the center must cut him.

V. a 6i or 7 tecnique(c-gap? defensive end, our te will skin tightly around him to the lb.
