Packaged Plays
Triangle System 3.0
Traditional to Read Option 1.0
 TRADITIONAL OPTION – double and triple option run reads front side of
play direction - from under center + new gun / pistol option

 READ OPTION – double and triple run reads back side of play direction from
gun (zone read) + add bubble pass for triple read and threat

Double Option – Read Option 1.0

1. Run-Run: DEND read OR WILL read OR NG read
2. Pass-Pass: Screens (read or double screens)
3. Pass-Run: Delays (stick–draw)
Triple Option – Packaged Play 1.0
*Pass-Run-Run: Bubble Screen + Zone Read (give or keep)
Read Option 2.0 from the NFL

 ESPN Magazine – Jan 6, 2014 article

 Playbook – NFL by Eddie Matz

“Seattle still relies heavily on old-school read-

option, but it also has turned to the ultimate
counter to the counter: the read-option play-
action pass…Read-Option 2.0.”
“It’s the future of the NFL, now more than ever.”
Triangle Read 3.0
 Definition of Packaged Plays – read plays using
various combinations of plays simultaneously

 Triangle System (3 plays in 1)

1st - Qb checks pre-snap read key
2nd - stay with Pass triangle read (combo) OR (Keep)
3rd - go to post snap read (Give) OR (Keep)

 Triple Options – Triangle 3.0

1. Pass-Run-Run (WILL read – BST “lock” tech)
2. Pass-Run-Run (DEND read – BST “scoop” tech
Advantages of Triangle Read 3.0
ADVANTAGE – 1 system for every Qb type + FUN
SIMPLE & SOUND – Everyone is Involved – BALANCE
1. Qb a Runner-Thrower-Both = ALL thrive in same Offense!
2. Offense uses core runs (in-out-counter) with core passes!
3. Defense must defend all with variations in schemes
4. Blitz Beaters built into system (hots / crossers / delays)
5. Can be Up Tempo Team (situational prep / 2 min off)
6. Oline-Backs-Recs-QB use core run-pass concepts only

1 SYSTEM – USE ALL - TEAM OFFENSE

1. Read Option 1.0 - double run reads
2. Read Option 2.0 – Packaged Play Action Pass
3. Triangle Read 3.0 – balanced / flexible / fun
Why and How It Works

 PROVEN Memorization Techniques

 HOW (Concrete Examples)

1. Themes: Super Sonic Packaged Plays

2. Alliteration: first letter of word cues
3. Memory Markers: embedded cues
4. Chunking: combine small bits into 1
5. Scaffolding: build upon each concept
Teaching – Learning

KEY - Teach (adjust) how people Learn BEST

 STEPS
1. Foundation Concepts (start with simple core)
2. Themes or Memory Markers (unique cues)
3. # and Word Association (alliteration + series)
4. Chunking – (combine small bits)
5. Scaffolding (build concept upon concept)

They (D) hear Everything – We (O) hear 1 thing!
