Like Tony DeMeo says - you can run 101 option plays. Exactly which one(s) to they run?

Triple is going to be much different than speed. I am assuming from your post that they are running speed toward twins away from a TE and a SE. At any rate, the SS/OLB needs to sneak a peak into the backfield and fight through blocks to get in on the pitch.

There is nothing that will show a man's true character like the 2 yard line.

He said away from 3 receiver side towards a SE. That's what FLEXBONE TRIPLE teams do - motion Slot to SE side & run TRIPLE. Unless we know which option they run - suggestions can do no good.

I read 3 wide receivers and instantly pictured twins to one side, TE and SE to the other and speed option to the twins.

I was talking about the speed option to the one receiver side from the spread with 3 wideouts on one side and one wideout to the other w/ no TE on either side.

ILB works out FROM QB to pitch (overlaps). F/S in Cover 1 (which WE play) can give good run support in alley.
