WHY THE GUN TRIPLE?

TREMENDOUSLY IMPROVES THE PASSING GAME LITTLE TO NO MOTION REQUIRED IN SOME FORMATIONS
DONT HAVE TO TIP YOUR HAND TO WHERE YOU ARE RUNNING THE BALL

ALLOWS FOR MORE FLEXIBILITY AND ADAPTABILITY OF PERSONNEL, FORMATIONS, AND PLAYS

WHY THE GUN TRIPLE?

THE TRIPLE OPTION NOW BECOMES 4 PLAYS IN 1, NOT 3 EASIER READ FOR THE QB DUE TO SPLITS
ALSO RESULTS IN LESS TURNOVERS

QB AND DIVE BACK HAVE TAKEN LESS OF A BEATING

WHY THE GUN TRIPLE?

STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO RUN SIMILAR PLAYS FROM THE FLEXBONE OFFENSE (JET SWEEP, ZONE DIVE, ETC) WE ARE ABLE TO RUN TRIPLE TO A 1-TECH OR A 3-TECH
LESS CHECK-WITH-ME NEEDED

WE SEE MORE LINEBACKERS PLUGGING INSTEAD OF SCRAPING

DUE TO LESS MOTION AND THE BUILT-IN CUTBACK PLAY
