    Coach Niumataloolo presented on keys to running a successful triple option offense. The triple option is the foundation of the offense and everything flows from it. It forces defenses to play assignments, limits preparation time, and leads to time of possession. The offense relies on commitment, patience, and game adjustments rather than scripted playcalling. Scoop blocking, pitch mechanics, and reads are emphasized. The clinic provided rules for running the triple option, midline, and playaction passes that mirror the run game. Coach Niumataloolo's presentation focused on philosophies for implementing the triple option successfully.

    KEN NIUMATALOLO CLINIC PRESENTATION -

    Allentown Nike Clinic on Saturday (2/23/08)

    Navy Clinic- April 4-6

    Keys to Successful "O"


    1. Philosophy
    2. Have a package
    3. Can you fix it?

    1. Philosophy
    We are running the ball.
    We THROW for big plays.
    We have a packaged system.
    We practice the same plays every week and get great at it--KISS!

    2. Package
    We are a triple option offense FIRST!
    Everything we do comes off the triple.
    Multiple option schemes- counter, midline, trap, belly.
    Multiple formations- with ability to run same plays.
    Playaction passes mirror our runs.
    Sprint out/half roll passing packages.

    3. Can You Fix It?


    Game-time adjustments-early-after series-NOT SUNDAY!
    Staff on same page-eyes-speak same vocabulary.
    Prepare for possible problems-have answers.
    Game day playcalling-no script/how is Defense playing? Pick a couple of specific things on
    which to focus.

    Why The Triple?


    1. Equalizer- forces defense to play assignments.
    2. Limits the Defense- prep time short, balances Defense with formation, Defense must play
    dive, quarterback, and pitch
    3. Time of Possession- keeps their offense off the field.
    4. Balanced formations- no strength-balances D
    5. Numbers advantage- blocking angles.
    6. Passing game vs. vanilla coverages- 4 across, 3 deep, man free.
    7. Blitz pick up-WE WANT THEM TO BLITZ!
    8. Different brand of football to the defense.

    Keys to Implementation
    1. Committed
    2. Patience

    Triple Option Rules


    PSWR- block near deep defender (come off the ball!)
    PSA- block run support (#3)
    PT- veer (Playside LB)
    PG- Base (if uncovered base LB)
    C- Scoop/Base
    BG- Scoop
    BT- Scoop
    BSA- Tail motion (tail of RB)
    BSWR- Cutoff
    QB- Veer steps
    RB- Mesh Track

    Scoop rules- crotch-to-crotch

    Cadence- "Ready, Set, Hike."

    Tail motion aiming point- tailbone of RB.

    Pitch the ball parallel.

    QB's second step must pound the ground.

    Aiming point of RB-inside leg of guard.

    Take care of run support player--do not worry about the corner!

    Do not get beat on an underneath stunt!

    Center's release vs. noseguard- 45 degree angle and stay vertical!

    Scoop- 45 degrees, 60 degrees, then 90 degrees--head to inside thigh. It's like a banana or
    "J."

    The running back always keys the first playside DL.

    The read--QB gives ball UNLESS the read can make the play (no shoulder reads, jersey
    reads)... instinct!

    The pitch is thumbs down!

    Practice vs. stack looks--easy stunt! Who is coming in and who is coming out!

    Midline rules--read from 2i out.


    PSWR- Push/Stalk for inside run.
    PSA- 2 LB's-PSLB-FS/1 LB-OLB
    PT-1st DL outside read
    PG- Veer Playside A gap- LB, BSLB, FS
    C- Base/2i backside
    BG- 2i backside/spot release
    BT- Anchor (5 tech)
    BSA- Tail motion (if trips block run support)
    BSWR- Cutoff
    QB- Midline steps (Drop and slide--end with staggered feet)
    RB- Midline track (tailbone of center)

    How to veer block- 45 degrees, dip, and rip

    Zone Give
    PG- Base-Zone
    PT- Zone-toes should end up north and south
    Backside scoops

    Rocket Toss
    PT and PG- Pull and run to sideline
    Backside scoops
    Playside A back has alley player- OLB or near high safety

    IT WAS A GREAT TALK AND COACH N WAS AWESOME TO ME!!!!

    COACHES I HOPE THIS HELPED... THIS CAME RIGHT FROM COACH N'S POWERPOINT!!!
