Spread Offensive Line Coaches

Things are going ok this summer.  A little young line blues right now.  They are inexpierenced and its coming off as timid.  Our o line coach has his hands full, its hard watching some of the struggles, I coach most of the oline in wrestling and/or track.  So I have a connection to these kids and I know they are just swimming in the pressure of being starters.  We only have one senior lineman, and he didn't see the field much last year.  He did have an amazing off season, dropped 40lbs and didn't miss a weight lifting session.  He just doesn't have the leadership skills to pull these young boys together.

It's going.  We're not going to fully go into it next year, but we're phasing it in with a younger group.  This group we've got now has a little bit of speed, but not what I'm thinking we need to be at. 

How's life, my friend?

Savell, how's the new offense coming along?

We double at point of attack on most everything( veer, midline, trap, GT), so we always want to "hug the double". I was the olive guy for three seasons and switch to RBs. So I teach them what the o line is looking for so we are on the same page. But the aiming point is more or less the butt crack of the double team guy. We want to stay away from the read keys or trap blocks. When we go to frames, I hold a hand shield at the double and if I can't trouch them with it them it's too wide. It's especially important when running veer to a 3 & 5 tech side.

It's been a while since anyone's talked on here, but for you guys that run the veer out of the gun, what's your back's aiming point?

Gotcha.

We do outside zone block the PSDE, we found that most of the time as we can get contat with him our RB could out flank him.  In fact as a zone team we started running this rather then plane old outside zone, it also complemented our sprint/roll-out series.

I like both of those.  Reading the PSLB makes sense to me because I always thought the BSG would never get to that fast-flowing LB and then it would turn into a cut-back, like you said, Gardner.  Coach Welch, what do you do with the PSDE?  Do you block it like outside zone?

We ran the Jet Read this year, we started reading the PSDE, through evolution we went to reading the PSLB which our PSG could never reach.

We have but the running lane on pulls is really far inside.  When we read and replace, we felt we were still in the defensive flow.  Our qb was reading and immediatley cutting back to the center if not the backside A gap.  So we trashed the play and now run a qb lead off of jet.  The guard is leading back through, we kinda felt that is where the wave of the defense ended so we attack it with an extra guy. It was a great third and med to long play.
