In this video, 2x Illinois State Champion head coach Brad Seaburg diagrams three counter plays that are used to complement the base Inside Veer play. He also shares an explosive reverse play and the zone dive play, both of which are explained in detail so you can take your Flexbone offense to another level!
Counter Plays
Coach Seaburg gives three counter plays that can be utilized with the Flexbone offense: the QB counter, the rocket toss counter, and the iso counter. He also diagrams the reverse play that is utilized to take advantage of fast flowing defenses. Specifics for each position on each play are covered in detail. You will learn:
- How to teach the kick-out and wrap blocks used by backs and offensive lineman.
- Several ways to block the QB counter and the rocket toss counter, including ways to change who the kick-out blocker is and who the wrap blocker is.
- How to coach lead blockers on the reverse play so that they are in position to make their blocks to spring the play for a big gain.
Zone Dive
Coach Seaburg wraps his excellent presentation with a detailed look at the zone dive play. The zone dive is a complementary play to the Inside Veer in which the quarterback automatically hands the ball off to the fullback. The zone dive is a necessary play because it takes some of the pressure off the quarterback and gives the coach a way to run a hand-off play to the fullback when defenses try to "muddy the read" for the quarterback. Seaburg explains how the zone dive gives the offense a way to counter the "hanging read" that can confuse some quarterbacks.
Flexbone teams are consistently among some of the most explosive and highest scoring offenses in football. The counter plays, reverse, and the zone dive shown in this video will help your Flexbone offense shred defenses in the fall!
