Another Answer to Handle the Squeeze/Scrape

July 17, 2014

In the past, Zone Dive has been the answer versus the Squeeze/Scrape versus a 7-man front:

Zone Dive.
PR- Deep Defender
PA- Fold
PT- Base
PG- Base to Ace
C- Veer to Ace
BG/BT- Scoop
BA- Pitch
BR- Cutoff
Q- Veer Steps–Give
B- Veer Path

The Follow can be utilized in the same manner.  

When the Mike runs over the top, the B-Back leads the way to the open gap.

Because the B-Back serves as an extra blocker, this can work versus an eight-man front.

Here’s the Follow versus a Split Defense with a Squeeze/Scrape:

Follow versus Split with Squeeze/Scrape.
PR- Deep Defender
PA- 3
PT- Base
PG- Base to Ace
C- Veer to Ace
BG/BT- Scoop
BA- Pitch
BR- Cutoff
Q- Follow Steps
B- Veer Path
