Executing Flex Midline Triple Option v. Gap-6 Defense
In this video, Dr. Lou Cella breaks down how to execute the Flex Midline Triple Option versus the Gap-6 Defense.
The Gap-6 is one of the toughest alignments an 8-man or 11-man Flexbone team can face, as every gap is covered and penetration threatens timing. Dr. Cella explains how to neutralize that pressure by attacking the defense’s structure with the Midline Triple Option, maintaining discipline, and using precision reads to exploit defender overcommitment.
You’ll learn how to teach your quarterback to identify the first and second read defenders within the Gap-6 front.
Dr. Cella shows how to block the play using proven Flexbone rules that simplify assignments for your offensive line. He also explains how to use motion, cadence, and formation adjustments to manipulate defenders and create clear running lanes inside the tackles.
