This is the Jill Scheme Because Of The Fold Block By The Tackle and TE. The Tackle Goes First, Hence The Jill Call. The Tailback Gets Into Relationship And Calls “Ball, Ball”

Defensive Adjustment vs. Defensive Adjustment vs. MidlineMidline

E T ETSMWRC C

F

One way the defense will try to take midline away is by having the Sam “fall in” on the QB. The Sam will meet the QB in the B gap for a short gain. This exposes the perimeter.

Midline Option: The Pitch Midline Option: The Pitch SchemeScheme

E T ETSMWRC C

F

The Pitch Scheme Is Designed To Take Advantage Of A Sam That Is Falling In On The QB. The Pitch Scheme Tells The TE To Arc Release To The Sam. The QB pitches off the DE and we get the ball on the perimeter to the TB.

Defensive Adjustment vs. Defensive Adjustment vs. MidlineMidline

E T ETSMWRC C

F

The defense will have the Will attack the frontside A gap to take the FB, with the 3 tech coming upfield. The QB will give the ball and the Will stops the FB. This leaves the defense vulnerable to the B gap on the backside.

Midline Option: Follow Midline Option: Follow OppositeOpposite

E T ETSMWRC C

Follow Opposite Is Designed To Take Advantage Of A Will Who Is Falling In On The Dive And Beating Our Combo After Riding The FB, The QB Will Pull and Follow The FB Opposite

Midline Option: 10 Counter Midline Option: 10 Counter OptionOption

E T ETSMW RC C

This Is Another Great Complement To The Will Falling In On Dive. We Run This To A 4-3 With The Invert StrongThe QB Rides The FB, Turns Backside, and Pitches Off The Backside DE

Defensive Adjustment vs. Defensive Adjustment vs. MidlineMidline

E T ETSMWRC C

F

The defense will also have the 3 tech slam the guard and the Mike stem hard to the B gap. This stunt has the Mike beating the TE, and we must add a complementary play to defeat this.

Midline Option: 10 GiveMidline Option: 10 Give

E T ETSMWRC C

This is another way we take advantage of the Mike LB stemming to the B gap. The QB rides the FB and follows him through the 0 hole.

This allows us to get the QB the ball following the FB. We run this when we see a stemming Will who is vacating the B gap. The QB rides the FB and follows him up in the hole.

Iso Option is run from our Ace Slot set. We run QB Iso with the TB in the slot becoming the pitch man. You can motion from trips to run this complement to veer option as well.

IS Veer Option: 32 Trap IS Veer Option: 32 Trap OptionOption

E T ETSMW RC C

We run FB trap off veer action. We want to get the Will and Mike fast flowing to stop veer, allowing us to wall off the trap. The QB still reads the 5 technique and will pull the ball if the 5 tech sqeezes.

IS Veer Option: 32 Trap IS Veer Option: 32 Trap OptionOption

E T ET SMW RC CF

This is FB Trap versus an odd front or a 5-2 front. We combo the frontside one tech to the will. We would make a long call since we are trapping a 5 technique.

Outside veer is great versus a 50 front and a college 4-3. We read the 9 tech for our give read and pitch off the next defender. The FB can hit the B or C gap.

This is the Load Drill for the FB. If the Pitch key squeezes, the FB goes outside of him to the alley player. If the Pitch key comes upfield, the FB goes inside of him to the Alley Player. This must be drilled on a daily basis.

Load Option Drill For The Fullback

Load Option: 18 Load Versus A Load Option: 18 Load Versus A 4-44-4

E T ETSMWRC C

F

Load is great vs. a 4-4 as we get a combo on the 7 technique to the Mike LB. We base the 3, and pitch off the 9 technique. The QB flash fakes and attacks the Sam. The FB reads the Sam for his path as he has the first opposite colored jersey past the pitch key.

Load Option: 18 Load Versus A Reduced Load Option: 18 Load Versus A Reduced FrontFront

E T ET SMWRC C

F

This is best case scenario for load option as we get two zone combinations on the front side of the play. The QB pitches off the EMOL and the FB blocks the alley player. We want to run load versus a 1-5-9 with the invert weak.

Load Option: 19 Load WeakLoad Option: 19 Load Weak

E T ET SMW RC C

F

Load Weak is great versus a reduced front and the invert strong. This allows us to get zone combinations rotating to the backside.

Speed Option: 19 SpeedSpeed Option: 19 Speed

E T ETSMWRC C

F

QB Will Pitch Off The 5 tech, while the Offensive Line veer blocks. This allows us to get the ball to the perimeter from a four wide set. Speed is great to a 6 man box from an ace or spread look.

Versus a 30 Stack, we run veer from a twins look. From a two back pro versus the above look, midline and load to the tight end are very good plays to run.

Best Option vs. a 4-4 StackBest Option vs. a 4-4 Stack

T

W M S

EE T

R

Versus a 4-4 Stack, you want to run load and lead to the strong side. You can also run midline. Motioning the Z receiver to a twins set breaks the triangle for veer option. With no inverts, you want to get the ball onto the perimeter.

Versus a 4-4 front with a 3 and 7 strong, and a 1-5 weak, get excited because every option is on, with midline being the best choice. You can use motion to break the triangle.

Best Option vs. a 13 FrontBest Option vs. a 13 Front

Versus a 1-5-9 to the tight end, load is a great play because of the two combination blocks on the play side. The FB would block the invert.

Using TE Motion For MidlineUsing TE Motion For Midline

E T ETSMWRC C

F

We flex the TE and put him in motion to the QB and to the play. We end up in our Trey Jill scheme at the snap. We will call 10-11 check in the huddle and run the play to the 3 tech

Using TE Motion For MidlineUsing TE Motion For Midline

E T ETSMWRC C

F

In this case, the QB has a 3 tech to the right, so he checks to 10 Midline. This is great when the defense is adjusting their front, and allows us to put the TE in motion.

Using TE Motion For VeerUsing TE Motion For Veer

E T ETSMW RC C

F

QB Would Check To Veer To The 1-5 Technique Side. In this case he would check to 13 veer. The TE motions and tracks the PSLB to Free Safety with the PST. This is similar to two track two for the midline option.

Using TE Motion For Load Using TE Motion For Load OptionOption

E T ETSMWRC C

F

The QB again looks for a 1-5 technique as this allows us to get two playside zone combination blocks. In the case above he would check to 18 load as that is where we have the 1-5 technique.

Inside Veer Breaking The Inside Veer Breaking The TriangleTriangle

E T ETSMWRC C

F

In the case above, the invert is to the playside, so we would want to run our option game to the TE. To break the triangle, we can motion the Z, or come out in a twins set, giving us a player to account for the invert.

Inside Veer Breaking The Inside Veer Breaking The TriangleTriangle

E T ETSMWRC

CF

As you can see, bringing the Z over into a twins set helps us to get a blocker on the Rover, who is lined up as a playside invert.

Play Action Pass With Your Option Play Action Pass With Your Option GameGame

Midline Option: Play ActionMidline Option: Play Action

E T ETSMW

RC C

F

The Play Action off the Midline is a great play! The PSWR runs a post corner, the TE runs a seam, and the backside WR runs a skinny post. The FB runs a slice, and the TB runs a swing. The QB rides the FB and drops 3 steps.

Midline Option: TE QuickMidline Option: TE Quick

E T ETSMW

RC C

F

The TE Quick is great to take advantage of an aggressive Mike LB. The QB rides the FB and hits the TE behind the Mike. The TE is looking to throttle down in the hole, not settle.

Veer Option: Play ActionVeer Option: Play Action

E T ETSMWRC

CF

Play action off the veer is best run with a twins look to the playside. We run a post or curl wheel on the frontside, with the FB in the flat and the TE on a drag that can be converted to a post.

Load Option: Play ActionLoad Option: Play Action

E T ETS M WRC CF

Play Action Off The load requires the QB to sell the load with two downhill steps before he drops. The PSWR runs a post corner, and the BSWR runs a post. The FB runs a seam, and the TE runs a Z out.
