Outside Veer
Quarterback reads the end man on the line and gives the fullback wider off-tackle or keeps.
Concept: Playside tackle base-blocks and the fullback aims outside the tackle as the quarterback reads the edge.
Grows with your players
Same play, more layers as they age up — teach it once and build on it every season for a consistent program.
- 10UIntroduce: Nail the snap/exchange, aim the right hole, and finish downhill.
- 12UAdd motion: Add pre-snap motion to stress the defense's edge.
- 14UAdd deception: Add the fake/mesh — and a counter off the very same look. Run it fast both directions and check into it by defensive look.
Every position's job
Read the end man on the line of scrimmage and give the B-back wider off-tackle if the end stays, keep off the edge if he squeezes.
Aim outside the playside tackle (wider than inside veer) for the off-tackle give.
Trail in pitch relationship for a keep-pitch if built in.
Base-block the man over him so the B-back can run off his outside hip.
Down/base-block the first inside threat and combo to the linebacker.
Block back to the backside.
Scoop and seal backside.
Hinge to protect backside.
Stalk the corner or clear coverage.
How to teach it
- 1Aiming point is wider than inside veer — outside the tackle; rep the wider dive track.
- 2Playside tackle base-blocks (does not veer past) so the give lane opens off-tackle.
- 3QB reads the EMOL — squeeze equals keep, sit equals give.
Common mistakes to fix
- !QB confuses the read with inside veer and reads the wrong man; fix by IDing the EMOL aloud pre-snap.
- !B-back runs too tight and clogs with the tackle; fix by widening his aiming point with a cone.
