Overcoming Hard Secondary Force with the Triple Pass

January 29, 2015

The Big Idea

Defenses are looking to stop the Triple Option in any way they can.

The Problem

Defensive Coordinators get in-zoned to the fact that they can sacrifice pass coverage for run support by running one of the defensive backs in the alley to the pitch.

BLOCKING 3 ON TRIPLE- SKY

BLOCKING 3 ON TRIPLE- CLOUD

The Defensive Coordinator believes this is the “special element” that is going to stop the Triple Option and make the Defensive Coordinator look brilliant.

The Solution

Run Triple Pass and throw the ball over the Defensive Back’s head.  This makes the defense play for their aggressiveness.  Here’s how everything works:
