In the Triple Option Offense, the B-Back has a total of five movements.

All of these movements are crucial to Triple Option success.

These five movements are the following:

1- Veer Path

4- Pass Path

Triple Pass v. 4-3 Cover 2 Versus TWO safety defenses, the Playside Receiver runs a SKINNY POST and the Playside A runs a WHEEL. The Quarterback stares down the safety from the time he gets out of the huddle and throws over the safety's head UNLESS the safety backpedals at the snap--if so, the Quarterback throws the ball into the lawn (Playside A). The Offensive Line slides away from the call, the B-back blocks the 1st threat off the Playside Tackle and the Backside A runs the pitch route and kicks out the first threat off the B. The Backside Receiver runs a 17-yard drag.
