[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 272011, member: 2451"] There are two factors that are sometimes overlooked when a defense is facing an option team. The dive with the Bback happens much faster than can be simulated in practice. As the game goes on it becomes harder for defensive tackles and linebackers to close on the dive play. They just don't quite get there like they did earlier in the game as fatigue becomes a factor. Secondly, the "bone" is absolute hell on corners and outside linebackers who are constantly being cut blocked by some SOB that often appears out of nowhere. When I was in high school in the early 1970s the wishbone and the veer in its various varieties were all the rage. It was not a pleasant time to be a corner back facing those offenses. It is truly unique in our time which makes preparation problematic to say the least. [/QUOTE]
