Triple Option Football Blocking: Ace Blocking vs. Slanting 2-Technique
November 5, 2013
On Triple Option, if the defense aligns in a 2-technique, the Center and Guard are responsible for blocking the 2-technique…
If the 2 technique slants inside toward the Center… nothing changes.
However, if the 2 technique slants outside, then the Center responsibility changes… he’s obviously not going into the B-gap to block a defensive lineman.
When the 2-technique slants away from the center on the Ace call, the Center continues to the second level and looks to block the potential runthrough.
The old football adage, “When someone goes out, expect someone to come in” certainly applies here.
So, if the Center is ace blocking the 2-technique and the 2-technique slants away from him, the Center continues to the next level and should expect to contact the A-gap runthrough.

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.”
