[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 307865, member: 265"] I didn't get that from the diagrams in Part 2 of the Ripon coach's post. In those, the twirl motion is by the QB and the play side AB takes two steps (I think we only use one) in the opposite direction then heads out to block play side like in the inside veer. The opposite side AB hesitates in place then runs to the play side, keeping the pitch relation. That's what we do on the counter option, if I'm not mistaken. At any rate, this isn't what we call a midline. You're right about the keys, of course. This isn't to say that you couldn't run a regular double option midline out of this; it looks like Ripon [I]might[/I], though I couldn't tell. That's a lot of extra business, however and I've never seen us do it. The midline looses its advantage if it isn't a bang-bang play. Btw, I think Matthew is easy fast enough to fun the counter option, but why bother? His forte has been - and will be, if he recovers fully - the straight midline and the inside veer, with an occasional speed option thrown in. Basic Navy QB/BB stuff, iow. [/QUOTE]
