Midline Series

The Midline play can be executed as a Veer Read, Base, or Trap play. We want to run the Midline to attack the 3 technique (away from the 1 technique or shade. The QB will read the 3 tech in executing the Veer Read, to determine whether to give the ball to the fullback or keep it. We will very seldom run the pitch phase on the Midline. If the QB gets a keep read, the play basically turns into a QB Iso.

-Midline Veer (no pitch)

-Midline Veer (pitch)
The Midline Base is a fullback run away from the 1 technique. We base block this play and it is a handoff to the fullback no matter what. A good short-yardage play for us.

-Midline Base (handoff)
The Midline Trap is run away from the 1 technique. The Backside Guard traps the 3 tech. This is also an automatic give to the fullback.

-Midline Trap (handoff)

-Midline Drive

Another play we like to run off the Midline is the Drive Play (some call it a Belly, or Double Dive). We block it like the Midline Veer except the Playside Guard will base block the 3 technique. The QB fakes to the fullback on the Midline and then hands the ball to the backside slot (HB) as he drives into the LOS just inside the Playside Tackle.
