Triple Option Quarterback Positional Training: Dominating the Blood Stunt

February 26, 2016

The Blood Stunt is when the read key (#1) and the pitch key (#2) come hard after the B-Back and the Quarterback on Triple Option.

Destroying the blood stunt is just like being caught on fire.  The Quarterback will stop, drop, and roll.  Here’s the progression:

1- Take the snap.

2- Jump in A-gap and extends elbows.

3- Give ball to B unless #1 tackles the B if so the Quarterback…

4- Re-seats the ball and stops.

5- Drops his playside foot and rolls the ball to the Backside A-gap.

Defensive Coordinators love the Blood Stunt because they believe this is the best way to kill the Quarterback.  Well, maybe… but the Quarterback ISN’T going to have the ball.

Stop, drop, and roll versus the Blood Stunt.
