Why the Gun Option? Ability to Control the defense Defense must account for QB as a running threat Control & dictate defenses Does not give defenses any advantages Force the defense to defend the whole field Force the defense to play option responsibilities Confuse the defensive players

Why the Gun Option? Hardest play to defend. Assignment Football. Great equalizer when you don’t have the size to effectively block one-on-one Creates mismatches in secondary to better open up the passing game Allows you to scheme – thus having the ability to defeat a defense made up of better athletes It takes the defense out of their comfort zone

Why the Gun Option? Gives QB better view More time spent on throwing mechanics, reads, & less on steps Gives the illusion that the team is a passing/finesse team Can be effective with lesser size on the offensive line Offensive Line size: Not very big, but strong & quick RT – 5’11” 220lbs RG – 5’10” 233lbs C – 5’11” 225lbs LG – 5’11” 260lbs LT – 5’9” 230lbs

Why the Gun Option?
