About this video
Since John Curtis Christian High School installed the veer option, the results have been remarkable: 22 Louisiana state championships, 32 straight seasons of ten or more wins and a 77-game regular-season winning streak. In this coaching video, head coach J.T. Curtis and his son, quarterbacks and running backs coach Jeff Curtis, show how the veer offense attacks the 50 defense. The keys are the secondary's coverage and the quarterback's read of the defense, and both are covered in detail with extensive game film.

Frequently asked questions
What does this video cover about the 50 defense?
How the John Curtis veer offense attacks a 50 front: choosing the play from the secondary's coverage, attacking weak or strong side, blocking the inside veer, outside veer and cutback, the combo block and the tackle's dip and rip. It closes with the five most-asked questions about facing the 50.
Is this for veer teams only?
Coach Jeff Curtis says every coach will get something from it, but it is most useful to high school staffs running the veer or another triple-option attack, since the plays are the inside veer, outside veer and cutback.
