Ready to master the trenches?
In this video, we break down Basic Beginner O-Line Blocking specifically for the Midline Triple Option.
The Midline Triple is a “bread and butter” play for option offenses, but it only works if the big guys up front are on the same page. While many coaches have different flavors of this play, the core fundamental remains: we don’t block the dive read.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn why—regardless of the specific scheme—successful Midline Triple blocking always incorporates these three pillars:
The Double Team: Moving that interior lineman off the spot to create a clear vertical entry for the B-back.
Scoop Blocks: Essential one or two scoop blocks on the backside to cut off pursuit and prevent the defense from chasing down the play.
Veer Releases: Mastering one or two veer releases to get your offensive linemen past the line of scrimmage and onto the linebackers immediately.
Whether you’re a player looking to improve your footwork or a coach looking for a simple way to teach the scheme, these “Easy Steps” will help your unit Crush the DL!
