What to Do if The Defense Won’t Let You Pull the Ball on Triple Option
December 25, 2015
So the defense is forcing you to give the ball on Triple Option—and you just can’t get four yards on the give.
If this is the case, get into Double Flex, and run Blast.
Now, the defender who is forcing the give read is outflanked and gets loaded. This creates a two-way option with the Quarterback and the B-Back.
Here is Blast in action…
Blast v. Odd Stack. The Receiver blocks down, the A-Back arcs to the Corner, the Offensive Line and Backside block the same as Triple Option. The B-Back blocks #2. Finally, the Quarterback jumps in the A-gap, fakes the dive and scores UNLESS #3 steps at him–if so, the Quarterback parallel pitches to the Backside A.
Two State Semifinalists, A State Finalist, and a State Champion in Texas have Come out of Dr. Cella’s Triple Option Football System In Four Years
Triple Option Football Academy Owner, Dr. Lou Cella, is a Sports Performance Specialist, and a 20-year coaching veteran of the college and high school level.
Dr. Cella assisted in the turnaround of numerous high school football programs through his triple option-based camp system. Just months after Dr. Cella served as camp director, Cashmere (WA) and Timmonsville (SC) went to the state semifinals, Bayfield (CO) went to the state championship game, and Falls City (TX) won their first regional and first state championship in school history.
Also, Corning (NY), Hereford (MD), Johnson (NJ), Lakewood (SC), Petaluma (CA), Piedra Vista (NM), Poland (ME), Riverwood (GA), San Benito (CA), Seminole County (GA), and Temple City (CA) posted drastic turnarounds just months after Dr. Cella served as their camp director.
Additionally, Dr. Cella has coached three current NFL players who have been drafted within the last two years. In 2015, Kevin White (Wide Receiver) was drafted #7 overall by the Chicago Bears and Mark Glowinski (Offensive Guard) was drafted in the fourth round by the Seattle Seahawks. In 2014, Lorenzo Taliaferro (Running Back) was drafted in the fourth round by the Baltimore Ravens. All three players were coached by Dr. Cella at the Junior College Level.
At the heart of the American Football High Performance Academy (AFHPA) and the Triple Option Football Academy is the mission to lead the high-performance football environment through sports science and mental conditioning coaching practices.
