Frequently asked questions
What problems does the 3-3-5 create for the veer, and how does this video solve them?
The angles the 3-3-5 creates for the running game. Coach Curtis and Coach Jeff Curtis cover blocking concepts built for those angles, how to read five defensive backs, controlling the linebackers, the nose-and-Mike combo block and the assignments for inside veer, outside veer and cutback.
Is this a fit for my level?
It is a high school clinic session from a high school program, and it suits veer and triple-option coordinators, quarterback coaches and line coaches at that level, though the combo-block and read concepts scale up.
