Speed Option

The Speed Option tag flags every play where the quarterback attacks the edge with a pitch man trailing, forcing the unblocked contain defender to choose between the QB and the back. It spans 3 formations and 24 sets, from Wishbone heavy looks to Shotgun and Pistol spread sets like Trips TE, Bunch Str Offset, and Trey Open, plus variants such as Shovel Option and Speed Option Rev that change the pitch angle or add misdirection. Filter by this tag when you want to build a run-first scheme around a mobile QB, punish over-aggressive edge rushers and blitz-heavy users, and pair option looks with matching play-action rollouts and RPOs out of the same personnel.
