How to Beat the Okie Dog Pinch
December 26, 2015
There are two ways to beat the Okie Dog Pinch (listed below).
Bear Bryant’s Okie Dog Pinch. #1 takes the Dive; #2 takes the Quarterback; Inside Linebacker runs over the top at the snap to take the pitch.
This was designed by the “Bear” to create a 3-on-3 versus the Triple Option.
- Run the Zone Dive. This takes advantage of the fact that the Mike is running over the top to stop the pitch.
Zone Dive versus 3-4/50 Defense. (Triple Option Football Academy)
2. Run the Rocket as the 9-technique is running to the Quarterback and not the pitch.
Rocket Toss versus 50.
PR- Deep Defender
PA, PT, PG- Arc
C, BG, BT- Scoop
BA- Rocket
BR- Cutoff
Q- Rocket Steps (Punch, Turn, Pivot)

* Only call Rocket when the Playside Linebacker blitzes inside or #2 does not run with the Tackle on Midline Lead.
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.
