Inside Veer Right

Quarterback rides the fullback into the B-gap and reads the first man past the tackle to give or keep.

Concept: Playside tackle veer-releases inside to the linebacker leaving the dive-key end unblocked for the read.

How to teach it

  • 1Rep the mesh slow: B-back runs a soft path so the QB can see the read defender clearly before pulling.
  • 2Teach the QB one key only — eyes on the first man past the tackle: he squeezes, you give; he stays home, you pull.
  • 3Playside tackle must climb INSIDE the read end, not block him — walk them through it so they trust leaving him free.

Common mistakes to fix

  • !QB reads the wrong defender (blocks the read); fix by having the tackle point out the dive key pre-snap and drilling the mesh at half speed.
  • !B-back drifts wide of the guard's outside leg; fix by placing a cone at the aiming point and checking his first two steps.
