The Triple Option

Triple option guy is fūcking with you people and you're letting him.

"Strong dominant receivers" , child...

It's a known fact that receivers who play in the triple option need to be strong and block well. It's these attributes that translate to the NFL much better than small, speedier receivers that are found in spread offenses.

If you are talking about the modern version of the spread and read option then I agree, but the triple option is a thing of the past. You can't win without being able to pass the ball very well in today's college football.

If the Canes were able to hire Tom Herman vice Mark Richt then they would be every bit as successful as they will be with Richt. Herman had OSU humming offensively with their 3rd QB under Meyer and beat BAMA and won a NC. This year he converted 2 WR's to QB and managed to beat a FSU with a team that has less talent than them with a balanced offense.

The Pro Style purists can disagree with that if they want, but both the Pro Style or Meyer's system can be very successful here. Some believe it would be much easier to recruit for that system here due to the difficulty of finding the smartest QB's to run the sophisticated Pro Style. We went 10 years between having 2 very smart California QB's to run the system.

By the way, I believe Mullen at MSU finished in 2nd place twice to be the U head coach. As many know he won NC's under Meyer at UF. MSU has maximized it's potential under Mullen because they will NEVER be able to recruit better players there than crooked @ss Bama, LSU and Ole Miss, not to mention the other crooked programs in the SEC.

I am a huge Spread and Read Option fan. It would be extremely successful here, but I am as happy as I can be with Richt and his Pro Style, which has brought 5 NC's to this program.

The only problem with passing is the amount of turnovers it causes. In today's age, DB's have become far more fast, tall and strong. DE's are so athletic that it is becoming almost impossible for OL to hold their blocks. This results in a greater number of interceptions.

Interceptions are the greatest type of turnover in the game. If we can effectively reduce our interceptions to zero, we will win the turnover battle everyday with an elite defense. Turnover battles are what decide games.

So, in a rule climate where passers are protected to the nth degree, in a climate in which receivers can't be touched(Or breathed upon) you advocate abandoning the passing game, to run an offense that would get the QB killed more often than not, and make wide receivers flexed out tight ends. I know you are trying to troll, but do better.

I would have to disagree with that sentiment.

Today's football is FAR more physical than it used to be in the past. Notice today how athletes are much bigger, faster, and stronger than they have been in the past. This change in football requires an adaptation to a MORE PHYSICAL offense.

The SEC is a prime example of this. Notice how a spread offense does not succeed in the most dominant league in CFB. To be successful at the highest level, you need to be able to run the rock. What people are failing to understand is, that option IS the best way to succeed in an increasingly physical, run-dominant sport.

There's only one problem with your assertion, teams that run flexbone or wishbone based systems usually have quite limited route trees, which means that a lot of these guys can't run a route to save their life.

Calvin Johnson says hello.

But that's not the point I was making. What I'm saying is these receivers are generally far greater physically developed which translates well to the pros. In order to be a triple option receiver, you have to be strong and fast and also block very well. There is a reason why spread offense receivers generally do poorly in the poors.

I know you are a dumb troll, but this is beyond pathetic. You pointed to ONE freakishly talented receiver, who NEVER PLAYED IN THE TRIPLE OPTION. Chan Gailey ran a regular pro style offense, where Calvin was expected to run the full route tree. Spread offense receivers don't do poorly in the pros, they have a hit rate similar to people who played in pro style offenses. What matters in the NFL is whether you can run the routes, adjust to changing coverages quickly, and CATCH. If you can do that, you'll probably stick around. With the proliferation of teams running spread concepts in the NFL, spread receivers have less of a learning curve, because a true pro style passing game is becoming a thing of the past. You have a lot of guys like Antonio Brown in the league now, and that number will continue to climb as more and more colleges bring elements of the spread into play.

Thank you for proving my point, actually. Receivers in run-dominant/option offenses are generally the best at running routes and catching. That's because they cannot rely on their flat out speed and quickness like receivers in spread offenses do.

If you choose a run dominant offense such as the option, and recruit receivers to fit in that role (Strong, good route running, catch well), THEY WILL make it to the pros. That's what matters to kids these days, making it to the league.

Another thing I would like to add is that running a triple option offense WILL improve the quality of defensive recruits that we get. Playing against the triple option will better the skills of tackling and block shedding which is most beneficial for a defensive team. These traits that will be developed will make our defensive players into top NFL prospects because these are the attributes teams look for in prospects. So although maybe one or two wide receivers might not come, that great quality of DL, LB's, and DB's that would come would make up for this change in offense.

Hey dummy the triple option is not an offense it's a play.

Did they just let you out of the looney bin so you could come back and double down?

Where da **** was I at when this thread was created? This is a Fail City Thread....of epic proportions

I'd rather see a quadruple option. You have one more option that way.

Then the ultimate would be an elevenmental option. The ball could be tossed to anyone in the offense. I could absolutely see this.

There's also the Outta The Box concept. That's where all the players independently think of what play to run. Guaranteed to cause mass confusion.
