How much option

[CoachF]

We are in the process of becoming a true option team out of the gun (what I mean by a true option team is on 3rd and 5 were running an option play and everyone knows it.) I am planning on running speed, zone read, and crazy (shovel). Is that enough to be a true option team? How much option do you under center guys run?

how balanced are you going to be passing wise?

what benefits are you trying to get out of your shovel?
are you going to run any counter gt?
or just dart?

[CoachF]

On the stat sheet we look pretty balanced but a lot of our passing game is the bubble screen and wr screens which I consider the running game. Our "passing" game consists of simple high low reads on the flat and hash defender and 4 verts. I like running shovel because we have very aggressive LBs in our county who fly to the pitch man in speed option who would run right past teh shovel man (or the shovel would force them to slow down) I do run counter trey out of the gun along with trap, jet, and iso.

are you pass setting and then heading inside with the psot on the shovel using it as a way to slow down rushers too?

sounds good enough to me

easy adds would be 18 zone and zone option

dont need much more than that

straight up lead would be a good one too

[tog]

if you are running that much speed then qb power out of the gun would be a good deal

depends on how much your kids can handle


counter, and zone, and zone option you could get away with

[CoachF]

I don't want to touch the DE on my shovel at all. I want that kid's head so screwed up by the end of the game he thinks about playing soccer. The great thing about speed option and shovel option is that you don't have to block the playside or backside DE and with the line I'm going to have that's huge!
