DIAGRAM: “Outside Veer.” Out of the double-tight flanker formation, we run this highly successful veer triple-option play. Everyone gap blocks to the inside on this play. If the DE runs upfield, the QB gives the ball to the FB. If the DE squeezes, the QB must pull the ball and be 2-on-1 with the TB against the CB. Teams must cover down on the offensive linemen, which gives the offense a soft flank.
