Teaching Triple Option Fundamentals: The Quarterback’s Read on Midline Double

 
 

Here is the progression for the Quarterback’s Read on Midline as a double option.

Midline Lead is utilized when Triple is called and a 3-technique and a playside safety align to the Triple Option side.  Since the Playside Tackle cannot veer into the safety, the backside A-back must be inserted as the extra blocker.

The Quarterback does the following:

1- Takes the snap.

2- Jumps into the Backside A-gap.

3- Extends his elbows.

4- Gives ball to B-Back unless #1 tackles the B.  If so…

5- Quarterback re-seats the ball, replaces the read, and scores.


The simplicity of the Quarterback read is evident on Midline.  To learn the most modernized, effective techniques for all 11 positions on the Triple Option Offense, contact the Triple Option Football Academy at 570.332.0265.
