Because we always slant our front either right or left, our option rules may change depending on the direction of the slant and the type of option being run.We do have a base set of option responsibilities in place. But as stated earlier they can and will change. aphsfootball@yahoo.com
Base option rules Tackles- slant in dive, slant out Qb Nose- dive Mike- dive Sam and Will- opposite of tackle- if the tackle slants out you have dive. If he slants in you have QB Stud and Whip- straight to pitch. Free safety- QB to pitch Corners- Pitch (late) aphsfootball@yahoo.com

Closing • All year we kept expecting someone to line up in a power formation and be able to line up and just mash us. • It never happened. If you can get good penetration with your DL and your linebackers fit correctly, we feel as if we can line up and play with anyone. aphsfootball@yahoo.com
