Heavy Zoom (Midline Triple) Versus the Bear Defense
January 10, 2014
When Triple Option is called and a 3-technique appears to the call side, the concept moves in one hole and defaults to ZOOM (Midline Triple).
If the defense aligns with a 0-technique and a single-high safety, Heavy is a great formation for which to align to create the extra gap against with the two-gap player.
Here is how ZOOM is executed:
Playside Receiver- Near Deep Defender
Playside A- #3
Playside Tackle and Guard- Veer
Center and Backside Guard- Ace
Backside Tackle- Scoop
Backside A- Pitch
Backside Receiver- Cutoff
Quarterback- Mid #1, Pitch #2
B- Mid Path–Bend Off Action Key
