Coach takes different paths to make QB read quickly for the give or pull read

Georgia Tech Two Way Option Al “Buzz” Preston Wide Receiver Coach Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets • • • • • • • •

B gets frontside backer Looks just like the triple option but the QB never gives it to B Make sure QB doesn’t give up too much depth B needs to run through the backer and not break down to block him Cadence is “Ready, Set, Hike” – A back is in motion on “Ready” When drilling this make the pitch read attack at all different angles Start all drills going to the QB’s non-dominant hand BS OL scoops

Center needs to be the best lineman – has to be quick Guards need to be big & strong and able to pull Tackles are quick & linear with good feet The line splits are three feet The wide receivers line up on the numbers Wingbacks or A Backs are fast and shifty and line up in a one foot by one foot ratio from the tackles Fullback or B Back is more of a downhill runner and lines up in a 3 point stance with his heels 5 yards from the ball

B back aims at inside hip of the 3 technique PST has a slight angle step to combo instead of a lateral step Backside OL scoops If backside DE crashes in hard, reverse to him Playside A back has open step to see the D & then arc upfield to block the first threat between the corner and the safety Backside A back opens up & runs his option path through the point where the B back was lined up If the pitch read makes even on step of depth before closing in it is an automatic give to the B back QB attacks the inside shoulder of the option read to keep him pinched in
