ISV??

Coach - the inside veer and outside veer are two different plays with 2 different paths for the dive back - Outside veer hits in the off tackle hole or C gap with the End man on the LOS usually the dive read. Inside veer hits at the midline or outside hip of the guard(depending on line splits) and the 1st man on or outside the PST is the dive read with the next unblocked defender the pitch key. We would not run the outside veer vs a 4 man front because of the threat of a 6i player that would be right in the mesh. Inside veer vs an 40 front has the DE as the Dive read and has been our #1 play when we see this defense(we rarely see it any more). Outside veer requires a TE while inside veer does not. You might want to run Coach Campbell Option on Me concept and check to the best play at the line. Teams that run the OSV as their base play will use a lot of Dbl Tight - Flanker formation. We are an I team now but ran splitbacks for several years. We kept the ISV as our only triple option and ran G dive and G option in place of the OSV. Glad to share what we have done in split backs in the past.
