Expanding Your Playbook With Option Football
There\u2019s an old saying among option football coaches. OK, really it\u2019s among all football coaches\u2026 mostly old football coaches.
If you can\u2019t block \u2019em, read \u2019em.
Pretty simple. When you don\u2019t have anybody that can take that guy 1 on 1, you always have another option.
Just make him wrong, no matter what he does.
That\u2019s the premise behind option football. Make one guy wrong, no matter what he does.
For coaches running a true\xa0option football system, this is a way of life. Let nothing get in the way of reading the guy that\u2019s causing problems.
Then there\u2019s the rest of us. We run an offense that is not based solely on reading defenders. Are we left out of the option offense goodness?
Nope.
In this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, I\u2019ll show you how to expand your offensive playbook using option football principles. Without confusing your players and causing a total disaster in the backfield.
