1969 Coaching Breakdown of Junior Coffey's 30-Veer Play for Falcons
The page from the 1969 Football Stars publication features Norm Van Brocklin, the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, highlighting the team's running strategies, particularly focusing on player Junior Coffey. In the previous season, the Falcons' running game was significantly hindered due to injuries to Coffey, who had previously gained over 700 yards on the ground in 1967. The article outlines a specific play known as the 30-Veer Fold, which is one of Coffey's primary running plays. The sequence starts with Coffey breaking to the outside before angling back toward the middle. Key blocking roles are attributed to the center and the strongside guard, who work to eliminate the defensive tackle and the linebacker, respectively.
