Overcome Offensive Line Deficiencies With the Army Flexbone Offense

October 19, 2024

The Army Flexbone offense helps overcome offensive line deficiencies through:

1. *Tripling the Defensive Tackle on Fullback Dive*

– *Neutralizes strength:* Triple teaming neutralizes the defensive tackle’s strength, freeing the fullback.
– *Creates seam:* The triple team blocks create a seam for the fullback.

2. *Reading the Entire Playside Defensive Line on Midline Triple Option*

•  Cancels the Defensive line by READING them instead of blocking them.

3. *Utilizing the Rocket Toss*

– *Geometric advantage:* Tossing far outside exploits defensive angles.
– *Eliminates interior defenders:* Defensive linemen are out of play.

Additional Benefits:

– *Flexibility:* Adaptability against varied defensive schemes.
– *Speed emphasis:* Quick-hitting plays stress defenders.
– *Execution over strength:* Strategy triumphs over physical superiority.

To fully leverage these strategies:

1. *Quarterback training:* Develop decision-making skills.
2. *Linebacker and defensive line preparation:* Anticipate and react to defensive movements.
3. *Practice game-like scenarios:* Enhance teamwork, timing and reaction speed.
4. *Versatile personnel:* Utilize diverse skill sets.

The Triple Option’s flexibility and strategic blocking maximize effectiveness despite size disparities, emphasizing execution, speed and adaptability.
