Georgia Tech Head Football Coach Paul Johnson on Playaction Passing off the Triple Option

From the Nike Clinic

  • Playaction off as many run plays as possible.
  • Vertical, Switch, and Titan are the three most popular Triple Option passes.
Triple Pass Vertical.

Triple Pass Titan versus Odd Stack.

Triple Pass Titan versus Odd Stack.

Triple Pass Switch v. 4-3 Cover 2 Versus TWO safety defenses, the Playside Receiver runs a SKINNY POST and the Playside A runs a WHEEL. The Quarterback stares down the safety from the time he gets out of the huddle and throws over the safety's head UNLESS the safety backpedals at the snap--if so, the Quarterback throws the ball into the lawn (Playside A). The Offensive Line slides away from the call, the B-back blocks the 1st threat off the Playside Tackle and the Backside A runs the pitch route and kicks out the first threat off the B. The Backside Receiver runs a 17-yard drag.

The Quarterback stares down the safety from the time he gets out of the huddle and throws over the safety’s head UNLESS the safety backpedals at the snap–if so, the Quarterback throws the ball into the lawn (Playside A).

The Backside Receiver runs a 17-yard drag.

  • Four Across=automatic Switch route.
  • Receivers break three steps and run the post.
  • Read Deep Defender.  Throw Post UNLESS Deep Defender follows post–if so, throw Wheel.
  • Switch beats #3-#2 exchange as well.
