How the Midline Triple Option as a Call and the Reverse Scoop Directly Impact Dominant 0-Techniques

June 26, 2014

The below-listed diagrams demonstrates how the Midline Triple and the Reverse Scoop severely impact the effectiveness of the dominant 0-technique:

Triple versus 50. The 0-technique can engage with the Center and get to the B-back playing the B-Back inside out. The Backside Guard must turn up and work to the next level since the 0 is engaged with the Center.

Midline Triple Option and the Reverse Scoop–Why the 0-technique is no longer effective. The Center steps away from the 0, which leads to the 0-technique moving with the Center. This clears the Midline for the B-Back on the dive. If the 0, doesn’t move with the Center, the Playside Guard Reverse Scoops the 0, and the B-Back will bend to the playside.
