Want to Control Outside Pass Rushers on 3rd and 10? Just Run Triple
January 4, 2014
Here’s the big idea.
You are playing a team that has an overwhelming pass rush. Other teams on your schedule can’t protect their Quarterback. They are getting into the backfield off the edge every time. There’s only one way to stop this pass rush.
Just run Triple.
You’ll be reading the C and D-gap player.
They’ll be flying up the field and you’ll be giving the ball up inside when they do.
Triple Option Right v. Split
You have a better chance of getting yards on 3rd and 10, then taking a sack, a bad pass, or giving up an interception of 3rd and 10.
Plus, if you get enough yards on the right spot on the field, you have another opportunity to go for it on 4th down.
So on 3rd and 10 versus a furious edge pass rush.
Just run Triple.
