When the quarterback receives the football, he will push off his backside foot with the play side foot stepping
toward the sideline and parallel to the line of scrimmage. After pushing off his backside side foot he then will
step at 3:00 O'clock with that foot, which gets the quarterback to replace the FB who is running at the mid point
of the Guard. The following examples illustrate the initial footwork by the quarterback:

Example number 3 shows the quarterback replacing the FB. The quarterbacks heels and toes should be pointing
towards the sideline. Quarterback reaches the ball back to the FB as deep as possible with his eyes on the on the
DE. By keeping the quarterback on the line of scrimmage with his initial steps and running downhill after the
ball has been pulled will help negate penetration by the defensive players.

These steps will be used for both the dive and the Veer option!!!

When the ball is snapped the FB will fire out of his 3 point stance by pushing off the BS foot and taking a
power step to 1:00 O'clock. After he pushed off the BS foot he will cross step with that foot and run for the mid
point off the Guard and replace at LOS. The FB will run a 100% till he gets tackled to the ground.

The Midline Option read is one of the easiest option reads to make due to the closeness of the read. On the
midline option, you will want to run it to a 3 or 2 technique for best results and for true midline mechanics. On
Midline Option the QB will read the inside jersey number of the defensive tackle.

The quarterback’s footwork’s, is a so called push away step at 6:00 O'clock. What push away means is that
when the quarterback receives the football, he will push off his play side foot with the backside foot stepping
away and parallel to the LOS. After pushing off his play side foot he then will step at 6:00 O'clock with that
foot, which gets the quarterback out of the path of the fullback who is running at the mid point of the center.
The following examples illustrate the initial footwork by the quarterback:

Example number 3 shows the quarterback out of the way of the dive back. The quarterbacks heels and toes
should be pointing towards the sideline. Quarterback reaches the ball back to the dive back as deep as possible
with his eyes on the inside jersey number of the 3 technique. By staying at the LOS with QB’s initial steps and
running downhill after the ball has been pulled will help negate penetration by the defensive players.

Once again the inside jersey number of the 3 or 2 technique dictates the give or pull read. The give read
happens when the quarterback sees the inside jersey number comes down into the field or he can see the white
of the number. By reaching the ball back as deep as possible for a longer ride this invites the down defender to
make a decision one way or the other now so he can't play soft in the hole, thus, being able to play both give
and or pull. If the ride is shorten then the defender plays softer, if the ride is longer it usually brings him to the
dive.

The running back is to run with his eyes and head up as he goes through the hole. Because whenever the back
drops his eyes and head it makes him clamp harder to the ball, if he runs with his eyes and head up it makes for
a softer pocket, smoother exchange and better mesh between quarterback and dive back. If the quarterback gets
the give read from the down defender he should carry his option fake on out, make the defense believe that he
still has the ball.

The pull read by the quarterback is dictated by the down defender showing his jersey number to the quarterback
and or just simply coming down and attacking the dive back. As the quarterback keys the inside jersey number
the pull will be dictated by the down defender taking the dive. As the quarterback reaches the ball back and
rides the dive back through the hole and he pulls the ball he wants to replace the defensive tackle taking the
dive. Again, replace the down defender keeping your path into the line of scrimmage because this negates the
penetration by the defense.
