I believe the future of offense is with the spread offense. With the right personnel you can use a new type of triple option play as one of your offensive football plays.

I love the idea of giving the QB as many options as possible, but at the same time make the QB’s reads and keys as simple as possible.

You could line up in a shot gun with two running backs to the side of the QB, the TE is lined up on the left, and the receivers are on the ends at their usual spots. Out of this formation, you’re able to use the Florida triple option.

The football play will start off with the RB to the right of the QB who fakes a sweep to the left. (This is to hold the DE over the TE) After he fakes then he cut blocks the RDE if he comes down the line.

Now the RB to the left is setting up the option by running behind the QB and is preparing the option to the right.

As this is taking place the TE on the left of the formation pulls down the line to the right and is looking for a shovel pass from the QB. The QB’s only read is the weak side DE. If the DE comes down then the QB and RB run a usual option, but if the DE attacks the QB, then the QB shovel passes the ball to the TE, and he still has the RB as a pitch man if he wants to give him the ball.

The beauty of the QB shoveling to the TE, if he drops the pass then it’s an incomplete pass, and not a fumble, so in reality there is no way this can be a negative play if its blocked correctly, and you have an athletic TE.
