Freeze to Stop A-Gap Penetration in the Flexbone
A-gap penetration can destroy the timing of the Flexbone Triple Option.
This video gives you the solution.
Use the freeze call to control defensive aggression before the snap.
This slows down blitzes and resets your offensive line.
Here’s how it works.
You go on a freeze cadence: “Down, Ready, Set-Hut” with A-Back Motion.
If the defense shows blitz or jumps, your players stay still.
If not, the quarterback over to the coach, the coach signals in the play, the quarterback calls the play at the line, and you reset: “Down, Ready, Set-Hut” again.
This lets your quarterback check with the coach for the best play.
You turn chaos into calm.
You take back control of the tempo.
This method stops A-gap pressure before it starts.
It gives your team the edge it needs.
