[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 630001, member: 282"] Maybe I'm wrong, but I've seen difficulty with blocking on the edge of the line and the perimeter. I don't think we were outracing any of those guys or getting good enough blocks outside to spring anyone. I also think we should have a perimeter running game; I just don't think we're doing what we need to in order to have one. When we ran the triple, we had one back blocking, the B-Back going up the middle, and an option of the trailing A-Back or the QB--basically, two other backs as options. We ran it occasionally, but there was usually just one running back option. You can also run the triple out of a single-back set using either a slot receiver or other motion receiver as the second running back option. UCF does it and other "RPO" offenses do run the occasional triple. We have the same number of blockers. You can have just as much deception out of these formations, they just don't have the same symmetry or the same checks based on defensive alignment. More often you see the run-run-pass option, including the bubble screen as the pass option, out of an RPO. I realize I'm abusing the "RPO offense" term like people abuse the "triple option offense" term, but I'm just going to go with it. A well executed flexbone is wonderful to watch. So is a well executed RPO based offense. We're not executing well in several dimensions. [/QUOTE]
