The Tex-Bone is triple option for the 21st century
Combines traditional option with modern spread into a Texas-sized offense that leaves defenses scrambling to cover it all
–> Marriage of triple option and spread formations.
–> Traditional option schemes; non- traditional option alignments.
–> Spread defensive philosophies provide predictable alignments.
–> Unpredictable to defend – every play could be spread or option-based.
Running triple option out of shotgun eliminates the need to motion the running back into pitch postion
Drawback of flexbone is not knowing how the team you’re going to play is going to line up….
But spread formations are easy to predict how your opponent is going to line up
