 The Playside A-Back blocks #3 on Triple Option.

This requires utilization of the count system, which is the following:

#1- Down lineman touching the Tackle.

#2- Defender on or past #1.

#3- Defender on or past #2.

The Near Deep Defender (defender who covers the zone over the top of the Receiver) is not part of the count.

The following are the situations the Playside A-Back encounters in blocking #3 on Triple Option:

BLOCKING 3 ON TRIPLE- CLOUD
