Triple Option Football Academy Playbook: Zone Option versus 4-3 Cover 2
December 19, 2013
The Zone Option is the top constraint in the Triple Option Offense.
When the Mike or the Action Key are making the tackle on Triple/Midline, the ball needs to the perimeter.
The Zone Option rules always stay the same.
Playside Receiver- Near Deep Defender
Playside A- #3-Down (v. 5-technique)
Playside Tackle– Veer (Outside UNLESS 5-technique = inside)
Playside Guard, Center, Backside Guard, and Backside Tackle- Scoop
Backside A- Pitch
Backside Receiver- Cutoff
Quarterback– Zone Steps
B- Zone Path, #3 (v. 5-technique)
Zone Option v. 4-3 Cover 2. The Playside Tackle makes a “switch” call and veers inside the 5-technique. This alerts the B to block #3 and the Playside A to down block on the 5-technique.
