The flexbone triple option, is a more recent, condensed variant of the wishbone option. The formation consists of two wide receivers, two slotbacks, or halfbacks that lineup just behind and outside of the tackles, the quarterback, the full back, and the offensive line.
A QB pitches the ball. At the heart of all option offenses is the option run. This relatively complicated running play may take on many forms. All option runs, however, rely on two common principles: Whereas the traditional running play typically designates the ballcarrier prior to the snap, the ballcarrier in a true option running play is determined by reading the defensive alignment or the ...

An unbalanced flexbone formation with a slotback (SB), wingback (WB), wide receiver (WR), tight end (TE), quarterback (QB), fullback (FB), and five down linemen (OL).

The two remaining backs, called wingbacks or slotbacks, line up behind the line of scrimmage just outside the tackles. Usually, one of the wingbacks will go in motion behind the quarterback before the snap, potentially giving him another option to pitch to. Like the wishbone, the flexbone formation is commonly used to run the triple option.
