just as he pitches the ball to RB. Also, most QB's aren't athletic enough to be a viable option to keep it themselves and get any appreciable yardage.

The triple option is tricky to stop and I assume takes practice time.Can someone

It's not like the Wildcat formation where you can run it once or twice a game and have success

but if its just 2 or 3 plays couldn't you get really good at running them

Thundergun Express

That's not really the point

It's an option, which means the QB could run with the ball EVERY time...so who

You could at the expense of practicing other plays.

They probably could with Kafentzis...you really need the right QB for that since

Ya, that makes sense. I mean I guess we did with Doman and it worked really

We didn't run the triple-option with Doman

That's different. Same idea, but the triple option is it's own ball game. We sometimes run a

With Taysom an outside pitch option with Jamaal would have killed teams a la

That's exactly the reason point of the wildcat

Cause they also are tricky to run and you need a QB capable of running

fattycoug

I guess it depends on the QB, we seem to run them a lot anyway if they can run

Yep. Lots and lot's of practice at game speed to get it right.

Precision in the blocking schemes and the reps required to get that precision

The more I’ve watched Matt Canada’s offenses, the more I like what he does. His

haha, an overly confusing way to suck

Thundergun Express

I think it looks stupid and amateurish

YIsForBrigham

I like it for what it is. I see it as a thing of beauty when executed well.

Do you think we could get Matt Canada if we promised Sundays off+dinner at home?

Thundergun Express

You know, I think that might sill the dill, as it were.

Also, the triple-option is about getting consistent yards by forcing the defense

Triple option requires a ton of practice and specialized players to be effective

11/14/17 12:04pm

This is the most correct answer. You have to practice it over and over to be

That option pitch is a turnover waiting to happen w/ out a lot of practice

GOR

My thoughts exactly. Love the triple option but too risky to just throw it in.

Nagurski

11/14/17 12:16pm

Is that why we don’t do the pitch to the RB/FB anymore?

D.T. Survivor

11/14/17 2:22pm

No idea why the toss sweep isn't a part of the offense

Nagurski

Quick option w/o the fullback and out of the gun is an easy wrinkle to add
