This is why if the triple option ever wants to make a comeback on the biggest stage, it will have to be balanced with a good passing game. Clemson just stacked the line with great athletes and dominated.
Whenever teams are sending the house > get the ball to the outside. Rocket and Mid Triple should be your best friends. Beyond that you can use formations to make the defense think twice and/or bring more blockers to the party
Youre so right... Seems like a good for for Vandy, maybe Mississippi State, if they hadn't just got Lebby. Sad there aren't many flexbone coaches left!
They need to drop that cut blocking rule. Old school option football is the most American thing there is. It is night and day with and without that rule.
Hey I love your videos but I would like for you to go over videos of the wishbone. Like you did with Georgia techs flexbone. Jefferson forest high school has videos on RU-vid to watch and if you could use those to explain them like you did with Georgia tech.
Love the content you have! I would love to connect with you and talk about some of it as a coach myself there’s something’s I would like to talk more about.
Again, this is pretty embarassing. You don't understand some basic flexbone concepts and are misrepresenting it on film. Pretty much anyone who has watched CPJ etc for more than ten minutes on film could say the same shit. Incredibly hard to believe that you're talking to any form of a crowd here.
If you get a d end acting like he is taking an a back in motion you pitch that all day. I'm sorry but that's bad coaching unless they have a speed demon on the edge. Go watch GT 2014 film vs clemson or miami for that matter. It was all game and Tech smoked the shit out of them with some pseudo "tower" in there. There is a lack of logical thought in some of your videos from a flexbone perspective and you've been doing this for years....you are just talking to talk. I thought you would get better.
Ran against a team that did this offense in highschool… hated going against it. They would mix in wing t elements which made things even tougher to defend. Once we starting stopping the triple option, they had this wrinkle where the would fake the triple and hand it off to the man in arc motion following the b back who was used as a lead blocker. It was seemingly impossible to defend. We called it double dive
Can you make a playlist for this team like you have for army Navy and golden state or update those love your channel Ive watch maybe 80% of the content
It was refreshing to see a more traditional option attack (easier to tag too). I'll give AF a little credit that their doing it at the FBS level so they're going against better competition/schemes
@@johnwalker6393 I think this could 100% work at the NFL level. BUT… It would have to be a MASSIVE commitment. You would need to completely revolve your organization around it. Sidebar but stay with me here: When Tebow mania was a thing in Denver, one of the only valid criticisms I heard about the system they were running came from a player from the Detroit lions 90’s era run and shoot experiment. (I don’t remember the player) He said that when they adopted the system, the entire roster had to be overhauled. Then when the front office decided to go back to traditional pro style, the roster had to be overhauled once again. It set the franchise back for years trying to revamp. The criticism about embracing the Tebow system was that it would cause a similar effect. Denver decided to ditch after not even a full year because they didn’t want to go down that road. Back to the Flexbone: it’s the same scenario. Similar to Georgia Tech moving away from the system. It was UGLY coming out of it because the old guard had to be fazed out and the same thing that made GT great also made them suck for years after it was gone. NFL teams basically just try to find a franchise QB and build around him. That’s the blueprint everyone follows. Honestly, it’s boring and I wish we had more variance. Especially at the FBS level. Why middling teams don’t go outside the box is beyond me. Teams like Arkansas, Kentucky, Vandy, Nebraska, etc will never compete with the powerhouses like Bama and Ohio state if they try to play like them. Texas tech figured this out with Mike Leach and it brought them crazy success. Problem is, every team is kinda right to think like this especially in the NFL. They are just one Patty Mahomes away from being a dynasty so it incentivizes this cycle of mediocrity and tanking. Houston now looks poised to make some noise, the Jags were elated to get Lawrence and so on. “If we act like the Yankees in here we will lose to the Yankees out there”
The flexbone is at its best when yu run it from the inside out....zone blocking schemes in the interior creates a 3 on 1 advantage esp. When u hit them real quick....
The tower front is used to take away the triple aspect of the flexbone....run ZONE DIVE till they puke...than run trap to the void when rhey shift or adjust....after they stop ur inside running plays than yu can hit em with mid triple or inside veer. Or rocket toss....army wasnt doing that enough against notre dame.
Triple should be run every now and than...mainly mid triple...but when I was in high school..stopping the dive was number 1 priority of our defense against a triple option team...that full back b back would run u down with 20 plus carries a game if u didnt...that's how Plymouth Salem did it in michigan
I’m a high school student and we just switched to the triple option were we improved from a 1-9 record to a 5-5 record with our first playoff birth in 15 years! Next year I’m going to have a bigger role and was wondering about playing slot. If anyone could give me some tips it would be well appreciated
Even though this video is a couple years old, you bring up a lot of good points. Not every school in the SEC can recruit the way UGA or Alabama can. NIL is complicating things even further. SC had marginal success in 2022 but has regressed to the mean this year. Schools like that need an equalizer, and offenses like the Flexbone present that. The Flexbone is going to have to adapt to the new blocking rules, but it can definitely still work if tweaked( more shotgun etc).
Great Info Coach! I have a question. Going from a HS Special Teams Coordinator to an OC I like your graphics. What software are you using to illustrate your X’s and O’s? Fritz
2014 proves to me that if a team with 5 star talent ran the flexbone it would be very successful. I really don’t understand why players don’t like the system. The point of the offense is to get the ball to its weapons is open space to be able to make a play. Yes you don’t have a chance to get the ball every play but let’s be honest here most passing plays have routes where there is no way you’re getting the ball. At least in the flexbone you’re being very impactful and useful every play. Imagine having Lamar Jackson at qb, Adrian Peterson as your b-back and tyreek hill and Christian mccaffery as your a-backs. This team would rush for 500 yards a game.
I hope Army and Navy switch back to the flexbone again. I like how quick-hitting the oldschool undercenter plays are. Air Force's offense was my favorite offense this season. Michigan's wasn't bad either.
