Triple Option Coaching: The Pitch Route on the Triple Option
October 28, 2013
The Backside A-back’s responsibility on Triple Option is to run the pitch route.
The following is how this is done:
1. At the snap, the Backside A-Back hammer steps at 90 degrees, takes a plant step with the opposite foot by making a “T” with his plant foot, and drives for five yards behind the Quarterback.
2. Then, the A-back takes 3 lateral steps and turns upward at 45 degrees.
3. He should expect the ball to be pitched in front of him–The A-back, with spread fingers and high knuckles, catches the pitch, applies four-points of pressure onto the football with his outside arm/hand, hits the seam, and scores.
The Backside A-back position is a very technical position; however, it is a tremendous EFFORT position. Underachievers cannot be A-backs in the Triple Option Offense.

The Big Idea in 171 Words
Here’s the problem. If you can’t block defensive linemen, you’ll never move the ball, you’ll never score points, and you’ll never win a game.
You need to understand why this disconnect occurs to overcome it and win.

“I know many coaches would rather install an offense the traditional way by researching it, visiting colleges that run the offense, and then picking coaches for information.
I have used that same strategy, and I know that it takes about three years to really gain an understanding of the offense and get players to execute it at a high level.
Consequently, in the research method, you do not have any collaboration with experts that are readily available when questions arise or resources that have consistency.
We wanted to give our players an offense that they could be successful with immediately.
We also concluded that by the time we visited colleges, bought DVDs, playbooks, and sent players to college camps to gain skills, we would have invested many times the cost of the camp.”
