So I am looking at what we already run in our current offensive scheme and wonder if we need to run the give to the FB in the series since we already run ISV? I know that we would not mesh with the BSHB but by the time the QB pulls the ball off the mesh it doesn't really matter anyway. I love the give to the BSHB off tackle and the QB keep off the 2nd mesh especially in SY situations. Denny, do you think we need to even have the FB dive phase?

It looks like they block it different from wing-t teams. I think they place the OT on the safety and play side OG on the ILB. Has anyone tried to run it that way?

What is down bounce?

If you wanted to run Tide vs. a 4-4 how would you block it? Have the TE release and block ILB and read the 7 tech as the dive key while doubling the 3 tech? Then place the WB on the CB. Does anyone simply block down with the TE and read the OLB as a give? Is this tough since the aiming point of the FB is the tail of the OT and then he must bend it outside the TE downblock?

4 yards away. We do not cross block on belly, we base it.

We have done it. We should do it more often. We run no mo rocket and belly when we do that. We mix it up and do not do this consistently so we often catch the defense on its heels.

So we used to run sally pulling the BST and filling with the FB. We got away from that last year and turned it into tackle trap and had some success. This year tackle trap has been bad we are not teaching it any differently but we play teams that really squeeze a veer block well since we run a lot of option and our tackles are constantly getting wrong armed. Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe we should simply go back to sally where the PSG/PST pass set and the BST leads up the hole.

On Rocket he is flat. On Belly we pause and then send downhill.

So when you run the stack, what is your rationale? Do you attempt to snap the ball quickly before the defense gets set?

How many of you regularly use shifts? I was considering stacking all the skill players behind the QB and then bursting to the called formation. Do any of you do this? If so, any coaching points? I was also considering a scramble where we give each position a number of formation alignments and they can choose where to align before getting to the called formation. Do any of you do this?

Good idea. I was just toying with running a screen away from waggle action.

We faced a team that often blitzed away from our motion and caused some problems for us. We ran a power shovel pass that worked okay but struggled running waggle. We also ran a 1 step slant away from motion that was effective. Any other ideas?

TE over. Run Empty and check away from strength.

Coaches, We normally run tackle trap to the TE side vs. 50 front teams and have been successful. We would like to run it to the SE side too but wonder if the 9 tech will fold inside and cause problems. Do any of you run Tackle Trap to the SE side? If you do, is there a way to hold the 9 tech from crashing?

When we run jet/rocket well. We really emphasize our OG's/OT's to run their veer path and anything that crosses their face they block. The fakes are also very important. We like trap off jet more. Having your FB understand his path and how he must bend it behind the OG/OT veer blocks is important too. Do many of you trap away from motion?
