Many triple coaches want to know what to run if the defense is covering both Guards? The original play call in this case would be 12/13 (triple option). However, as the offense moves towards the LOS, the QB becomes aware that he is facing a Bear defense. He then simply audibles to 4/5 (Midline Triple). In this way, we can still run one of our best option plays as we read both the 3 and 5 techs. In the Diagram provided, #1 is the dive key; #2 is the pitch key; #3 is the responsibility of the play side A-back. Remember, we never, as coaches, want a defense to dictate what we run. However, we must be flexible to some extent and take what the defense is giving us. In this case, with their 5 man front, we will not run regular triple option. Instead, we counter their actions by making them pay by running our Midline Triple play. Either way, we run TRIPLE!
