Here’s a Great Example of How to Utilize Heavy in the Triple Option Offense
January 5, 2014
The following demonstrates examples of how to utilize Heavy in the Triple Option Offense:
The Heavy formation is utilized on the goal-line to create the extra gap. Additionally, Heavy is utilized to create the extra gap versus 0-technique/1 high safety defenses.
Heavy Follow v 6-3 (Goal-line)
Heavy Rocket (v. 6-3/Goal-line)
Heavy Follow v Bear (Triple Option Football Academy)
Heavy Right, Zoom Right versus Bear Front
Heavy Right, Triple Right v. 6-3.
Here, the Playside Receiver blocks the Near Deep Defender. Since no one is covering any of the deep zones, the Receiver runs to the end zone. If the corner does not run with him, throw Triple Pass to him on the next play.
The Center and Playside Guard Ace the shade. This means the Tackles have to Veer inside on triple. Since there is a 4i, the Playside Tackle attempts to veer inside the 4i… likely this will be a collision and a PULL by the Quarterback.
The Heavy Tackle veers inside.
The B-back runs his dive path and likely will collision the Mike linebacker if the Mike linebacker takes the dive. If the Mike linebacker runs over the top, he will be blocked by the Heavy Tackle.
Heavy Triple versus Odd Stack (3-3-5/3-5-3/5-3). Triple Option Football Academy
Heavy works very well on the Goal-line and versus Odd front defenses with one high safety (Odd Stack). The reason why is because an extra gap is created.
