I also noticed that speed option out of wingbone is easier to run then flexbone. The FB blocks to the play side in wingbone. Can you audible the FB to block play side on run plays? Don't know why they changed it this year.
I run way more QB midline vs 3-4/odd fronts. You want to get him to start pinching his line down, or running 3-4 solid. Then your triple dive read becomes the OLB and pitch read is usually the FS/SS. When they are in a normal 3-4 front the dive & pitch read happen so fast, any lag or delay your QB is getting nailed, especially if his coaching strat is set to crash on the QB. That OLB will pop you.
