[QUOTE="Techster, post: 523426, member: 360"] The triple option is a play concept. It's not dead, and it will never die. It's just evolved over the years like most other defining play concepts. IMO, the triple option has become one of the defining concepts of football along with 4 verticals, inside/outside zone reads, etc. If coaches are smart, they will continue using it until football is no longer played because it stresses the defenses so much, and it can set up other plays for success. I think the TO has evolved over the years and it's no longer just a QB/Fullback/RB rushing play. It's evolved into a pretty devastating play, and stressful to defenders: [MEDIA=youtube]QbCgbEOpr4E[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]kDxgpFnvZcA[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]DY4GMfCwbCc[/MEDIA] There are a LOT of ways to repackage the 3O. New Mexico was really good about running 3O off different formations. Chip Kelly was good about repackaging it off IZ/OZ reads and making the 3rd option a pass into screens. Football will always be about innovation. Offenses will evolve, and defenses will need to evolve to defend the offenses. The good coaches will continually innovate...that's why 60+ year old Andy Reid is considered one of the best offensive minds of all times. His willingness to innovate and incorporate plays from all levels knows no bounds. [/QUOTE]
