Hi Coaches,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how they attack the 4-3 Defense with the Spread Shotgun Option.
Are there any DVD's on attacking the 4-3 or (4-4) Defense with the Shotgun option? I looked and could not find any. Thanks!

Well it partly depends on the type of shotgun option you run, TE or no TE? one back or two back?
If you have a TE usually you will see a 3 tech and a 1 tech on the line. You can run an Inside Veer against the 3 tech, or an outside veer look against the 1 tech. You can attack their end with a base power, or a Fly sweep, depending on if they keep that LB inside or not. I know for me, against the TE style Shotgun Option, we had a hard time with the Zone read to the TE side, because the TE would wall off our end, and they would turn it up inside getting two to three yards each time until our LB's got it down. They came within inches of busting one loose, but luckily, we were a bit faster than them.
With a more spread out four or five wide set, you can attack their inside lanes with QB Blasts, since most 4-3 coaches will walk their LB's out and many have them walk up a smidge. Once they start having to suck in the Rover/SS in to help with your run game, that leaves it four on three in the pass game as they shift into cover three or robber coverage.

Coach,
It is hard to say because you're not very specific about what version of the 4-4 and 4-3 you're talking about and how they react to your spread (also what you're actually running)...
That said my basic response to an even front would be to option the defensive end, back to the B gap QB to the C gap. That said always throw uncovered first...
