Thanks for the explanation, I was basically aware of that, but I thought Veer was more of a system than just a play...at least that's how it Yeoman intended it, his playbook is designed that way. I knew the Flex was derived from the Wishbone, though

I have seen veer ran from wishbone, I backs, split backs, off set backs, gun, flexbone, pistol, and I'm sure I'm missing a few. Its a very good football play that can be used in most offensive systems.
Back in the 80's North Dakota State was winning many national championships with splitback veer and in the early 90's Delta State won 2 or 3 national championships running the flexbone.

coachkell - The Veer system as devised by Yeoman was the split back veer. Therefore some people call the split back veer the "veer" offense, meanwhile the veer play itself can be run from many formations.

The Flexbone is tough to defend. A good flexbone team will throw every type of option play at you from the mid-line to veer to lead and load option, and even the sprint option. You throw that in with the different variations of motions and formations, it keeps you on your toes.
What is great is that not many defenses face teams that are truly option oriented offenses. This takes a lot of work to game plan and prepare your team.
And to add this, the objective of the teams that run the flexbone was to get their 3-5 yards per play and eat up the clock. Eventually, the defense will have a bust on an assignment and will break for a long run. Your defense must be perfect on all option responsibilities to stop it. I have seen good flexbone offenses use over a qtr in a drive.
