Option Specific Line Drills

As an offensive line coach that runs the triple, these are the drills that we and all true triple option coaches must do.

1. Base block

2. Down block

3. Veer block

4. Scoop block

(Base block and down block together=double team block)

Like Coach Easton said, if you are going to combo block on your veer, you must work on combo blocking, EXTENSIVELY, especially with your guard and tackle. If you run the triple option in the A gap, you will need to work more on combo blocking with your center and guard. Also, if you run the triple option in the A gap, scoop blocking becomes vital to the scheme. I have always run veer in the B gap with a double team (Base and down block together) on the defensive lineman and the other track the playside linebacker.

I hope this helped.
