Flexbone Triple Option Offense Core Values: We successfully run the ball up underneath penetration without ever blocking any defensive lineman aligned outside of the playside guard.

The article, Help–I’ve Just Been Hired as a Head Coach and Want to Run the Flexbone Triple Option–Where Do I Start? Step 1- Meet with Your New Players, serves as a catalyst for the final thing a new High School Head Football Coach tells his players.
This is what the new Head High School Football Coach tells his new players regarding the core values of the Flexbone Triple Option Offense….
We successfully run the ball up underneath penetration without ever blocking any defensive lineman aligned outside of the playside guard.
The goal of the Flexbone Triple Option offense is to get the defense to eliminate pass coverage for run support, and forget to turn the ball back to the inside…. when these two things happen, explosive plays occur.
However, when we successfully run the ball up underneath penetration without ever blocking any defensive lineman aligned outside of the playside guard–that is why most high school football coaches convert to the Flexbone Triple Option.
They realize that they will never be able to consistent move 3, 4i, 4, and 5 techniques beyond their will in order to get positive yardage in the running game.
So this is how it’s done.
We successfully run the ball up underneath penetration without ever blocking any defensive lineman aligned outside of the playside guard.
The quarterback reads the offense’s way out–all 3-techniques and defenders aligned on the playside tackle are the responsibility of the quarterbacks.
The offensive line splits (over 3 feet) take the backside defensive linemen away from the play and prevent them from making the tackle at the point of attack.
The offensive line splits (over 3 feet) give the quarterback time to read the offense’s way out on #1 and #2.
So when the 3, 4i, 4, and 5 technique penetrate up the field, the quarterback gives the ball to the B-back and the B runs past the 3, 4i, 4, 5 technique.
Yes, it’s that easy…
There’s a reason why NAVY, with zero athletic scholarship players, have been to 9 out of 10 bowl games.
Year in and year out, their offensive line averages in the 260s. They can’t get any bigger because the U.S. Government says so…
This is the final core value of the Flexbone Triple Option Offense.

The Big Idea in 171 Words
Here’s the problem. If you can’t block defensive linemen, you’ll never move the ball, you’ll never score points, and you’ll never win a game.
You need to understand why this disconnect occurs to overcome it and win.

“I know many coaches would rather install an offense the traditional way by researching it, visiting colleges that run the offense, and then picking coaches for information.
I have used that same strategy, and I know that it takes about three years to really gain an understanding of the offense and get players to execute it at a high level.
Consequently, in the research method, you do not have any collaboration with experts that are readily available when questions arise or resources that have consistency.
We wanted to give our players an offense that they could be successful with immediately.
We also concluded that by the time we visited colleges, bought DVDs, playbooks, and sent players to college camps to gain skills, we would have invested many times the cost of the camp.”
