How many live team reps make a Triple Option quarterback?
More than most coaches think. A quarterback does not become great running the Triple Option by throwing routes on air or taking half-speed reps. He becomes great by taking live team reps with the full offense around him and real defenders in front of him. Every rep teaches him to read the dive key, pitch key, timing, footwork, ball handling, and decision-making under pressure. The more live reps he gets, the faster the game slows down for him. That is why the best Triple Option quarterbacks are built through hundreds of full-speed team reps, not just individual drills. If you want your quarterback to master the Triple Option, give him live team reps with all 11 offensive players and defenders reacting in real time.
