Triple Option Coaching: Playside Tackle Blocking on Midline Lead
October 27, 2013
When Triple is called and there is a 3-technique and a playside safety to the call side…..
The Quarterback defaults the play to Midline Lead.
This is because the Playside Tackle cannot veer into the safety on Midline, thus creating a 3-on-3.
Due to this, the Backside A-back must lead through as an extra blocker is required to make the Midline go.
The Playside Tackle’s block on Midline Lead is referred to as a High-Pressure Control or Fan Block.
1. The Playside Tackle steps vertically at six-inches with his playside foot.
2. He continues a series of six-inch vertical steps until his heels are past the heels of the 5 technique.
3. Once the Playside Tackle’s heels are past the 5 technique’s heels, the Playside tackle steps to the sideline with his inside foot, then to the sideline with his outside foot as his outside hand punches the 5 technique.
4. The Playside Tackle pounds his arches through the echo of the whistle.
This is a high-pressure control block or Fan Block, which is utilized on Midline Lead.

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.”
