12-13 Veer / Tightside
12-13 Wall
18-19 Outside Veer
Split back outside veer
Outside veer is run towards the Tight End and incorporates the quarterback reading the end man on the line of scrimmage.Upon receiving the ball from the center the quarterback will push off his backside foot by taking two steps playside and down the line of scrimmage riding of the outside hip of his tackle. Outside veer is run to the outside hip of the tightside tackle. Outside veer becomes very effective versus odd fronts. Your quarterback should follow the same read keys as inside veeris the only difference, he now reads the 6i or 9 technique (E.M.L.O.S.). Normally outside veer becomes more effective with the split back and wishbone formations.
Running the inside veer into a three technique sometimes stretches because the deuce combo can’t get him washed down inside so there becomes the chance that the fullback will cut backside of the 3 technique.
