Discover why the “Kick” tag off Zone Dive is a top solution in the Flexbone Triple Option offense.
Army ran Kick over 40 times last season using the same exact formation.
Opponents who leave a C-gap player on the quarterback are vulnerable to this adjustment.
TAG “Kick” tells your offense to block the C-gap defender instead of reading him.
Doing this simplifies the quarterback’s read and speeds up your backfield decision-making.
Use this concept when a D-gap defender covers the pitch back.
That situation makes this play even more effective and harder to defend.
Diagram in this video shows how to block a 6-5 defensive front perfectly.
Backside A-back wraps and walls off the alley defender for a clean edge.
Quarterback now attacks downhill without hesitation or confusion.
Running Kick isolates defenders and punishes indecisive alignments by the defense.
Every Flexbone team needs this in their offense to stay multiple and explosive.
Before the 2010 season, Falls City HS (TX) had never won a regional championship in school history.
In 2010, after running a camp with Lou Cella as Camp Director, Falls City HS (TX) won the Regional and State Championship for the first time in school history in Texas while scoring 680 points in 15 games.
“The biggest thing for us is that it gave our kids the opportunity to work together in our offensive system before the season started – the techniques and fundamentals they learned was so big, so was the team bonding, and so was having an outside source (Lou Cella) teaching them – this was invaluable.”
– Mark Kirchhoff, Head Football Coach
