One of my clients asked me which six Offensive Line drills matter the most.
So to provide you with appropriate visual information, here are six Triple Option Offensive Line drills that matter.
1- Scoop

2- Veer

3- Slide Pass Protection
Offensive Line Pass Protection on Triple Pass and Four Verticals. The Offensive Line slides away from the call. With the Center and the Backside, if there is no immediate threat in the Center’s gap, he will peel on his third step and block the first threat off the Backside Tackle. The B-Back runs his veer path, flattens out, and blocks the first threat off the Playside Tackle.
4- Gate Pass Protection

5- Ace
Ace versus 2i. Guard zone steps with playside foot, takes second step goes back to base with backside foot and punches his inside hand through the playside breastplate of the 0-technique.
Center zone steps with his inside foot, second step goes back to base with his outside foot, and his third step will be a zone step with his inside foot as he punches his inside hand off the third step, takes his fourth step going back to base, and squeezes his hips with the Guard and pounds his (Center’s) arches through the echo of the whistle.
Ace versus slanting 2. When Ace blocking a 2-technique on Triple, the Guard’s first step, which is a zone step to the playside, is the key movement. This step keeps the 2-technique in the Playside A-gap.
6- Offensive Line Footwork Choreography
