Good video. Yeah, defending the option does not have to be complicated, responsibilities can fit easily within base rules. You don't have to do anything special other than playing disciplined.
Hey Coach First, sorry this is so long. Okay so I'm learning Joe Austin's Triple Option Power offense ("Tex-Bone"). Allow me to take a stab (by the way I'm a very green coach and have learned a ton through your podcast and JFDB football coaching 101). Also, I'm new to O-Line blocking. (I just paused it at 1:50) TE Blocks M unless he blitzes then he just moves on to FS (both reasonable) PT blocks down on the DT (good angle) PG Blocks down on W (also good angle) C blocks down on N (good angle) BG pulls playside and blocks M (unless the TE has him, then he goes to FS) BT blocks backside end (not hard just has to delay him) QB reads the end for the dive option QB reads the SS for the pitch option I'd like to know how you defend. I'm HIGHLY considering implementing this offense so please let me know where it's weak. My thought is that it's weakness is the effort it would take to orchestrate this correctly on the offensive side.
A lot of offenses are gonna block the sam linebacker with the OT. Do you have your DE come hard at the dive back or would you have him try to redirect the ot with a good shove to secure your backup?
Do you like the weak safety to roll over the top for any play action passes to the Y going down the seam since the DE to the weak safety side has C-gap in CASE of a boot action?
Coach when I played in the 4-2-5 defense. Our DE was outside shoulder of TE. The DE crashes down and hit QB. Corner to option playside side attacked pitchman now! SS did a slide a locate technique on WR. FS would read playside Tackle and TE for run/pass.
the DE forcing the QB to get rid of the ball is key. Don't let him beat you. Make him take some pain every single play whether he has the ball or not. As soon as he gets anxious the option is beat. Of course easier said than done.
I've got a full video in our 4-2-5 Defense System on defending spread option int he 4-2-5 Defense. You might also want to check out my free series at join.joedanielfootball.com/youtube/
My team would break rushing records against these techniques. There's no way this works against a sound option team. Unless you just have studs up front. And the only team that runs split back veer is De La Salle. One of the best high school teams in the country.
John Curtis in Louisiana might have something to say about that? Once you start putting solid licks on the QB by making him keep the ball it's a whole different ball game..
I think the only issue is have is veer teams always run to the tighter tackle and midline your three tech. So against your alignment we'd run weak veer strong midline. A difference might be that we're a flexbone team so I'm not sure if out scheme would be much different that split back.
The base rules stay the same. A and B gap defenders handle the dive, C gap defends the QB and force defender is on the pitch. Free Safety runs QB to pitch. The only difference is we would usually gap exchange on the weak side, with the weak end crashing to handle dive on the veer release and will backer scraping to get on the Quarterback.
Joe Daniel Football That looks solid. Like I said, we're flexbone so we'd be double slot or wing slot usually loading the will. Obviously you probably have some adjustments, last one with the marker and all that. I will say when we see sing high safety teams, that's were we make our money. Much tough for us to find plays against 2 high safeties who roll on motion with olbs reading their slots. The other adjustment I might mention is to stem your dt's during cadence. Most veer teams even/odd check so stemming forces OT to come down on DT rather than release to backer.
Great advice, I tend to make these videos towards the simplest solutions because the worst thing we can do is play an option team (or any offense) with confused players playing slow. But once your guys are ready to handle a little more, these would be some great flexbone option adjustments.
Block, tackle wrap arms, and pursuit. Good video.
Good video. Yeah, defending the option does not have to be complicated, responsibilities can fit easily within base rules. You don't have to do anything special other than playing disciplined.
Awesome video man. I guess variation would be like 5 man front or more LBs, but emphasis on dive, pitch, and QB player?

I'd like to know how you defend. I'm HIGHLY considering implementing this offense so please let me know where it's weak. My thought is that it's weakness is the effort it would take to orchestrate this correctly on the offensive side.
Could you do a video with how to defend that with the 4-3?
A lot of offenses are gonna block the sam linebacker with the OT. Do you have your DE come hard at the dive back or would you have him try to redirect the ot with a good shove to secure your backup?
The TE looks to be open if they go play action.
Do you like the weak safety to roll over the top for any play action passes to the Y going down the seam since the DE to the weak safety side has C-gap in CASE of a boot action?
Joe Daniel yes sir

Can you do a video on how to defend the read option from spread?

Watch out for the outside veer!
