[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 70505, member: 639"] Let me expand on why running the triple option successfully is important to the passing game. I guess I will preface the said expansion with a reminder about how we never (seemingly) ran triple last year and how bad it hurt. When you can run triple and make good reads, you successfully remove two defensive players from the play without committing a blocker. Those two hats have to be made up for and they have to come from somewhere. It just so happens that the two guys who are optioned off usually come from both the DL(1) and LB (1) groups. Sometimes it is LB (2) in the event of a cross charge. When that happens the only real solution is to fill from behind. That means safeties have to be shallow and active. Sometimes grossly so. In fact, there is tremendous pressure on a safety to fill lanes and make reads very quickly. So much so that their ability to cover is greatly compromised. To me that is the beauty. When you have 2 ABs that can release along with 2 WRs, after selling blocks, that is a tall order for who is left on defense. We HAVE to run triple well to be a good passing team. Bottom line.
