Utilize Opposite Follow to Beat the Slant

February 10, 2015

How many times have you run the Triple Option and had the defense slant to your A-Back’s pitch route?

Well, the Backside A-Back is only supposed to have two steps in the ground on his pitch by the time the ball is snapped.

Sometimes the Backside A-Back leaves a little too early, and the defense slants to what they believe is motion.

How you get them to stop doing this?  Answer: Run Opposite Follow

Here is how Opposite Follow is run:
