About this video
Once the inside and outside veer are in, the mid-line option and speed option let you attack gaps the base veer leaves alone. Tom Green, whose Spread Veer offense at Surrattsville High School in Clinton, Maryland rushed for 3,678 yards, uses this coaching video to branch the system out with two option plays that share the same blocking language and the same easy audible tags.
What you'll learn
- The advantages of adding the mid-line option and the speed option to a veer offense.
- Blocking rules, assignments and responsibilities against the 30 front, 40 front and 50 front.
- How multiple formations off the same personnel keep the defense guessing.
- An audible system simple enough to run for both the mid-line and the speed option.
- Keys to making the right pre-snap call based on the front and the leverage you are given.
- Bonus "What if?" segment: what to call when the defense blitzes or sends defenders off the edge.
Who it's for
High school and youth option coaches, offensive coordinators and quarterbacks coaches who already run some form of veer or triple option and want more answers against odd and even fronts.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is taught here?
The mid-line option and the speed option as branches off the Spread Veer, including which defensive gaps each one attacks, the blocking rules against odd and even fronts, and the best complementary calls to pair with them.
Do I need to run the veer already?
It helps, but it is not required. High school and youth staffs running any gap or option run game can install the mid-line and speed option on their own terms, because Coach Green teaches them with rules that are quick to coach rather than memorized play cards.
