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.
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.

Army will roll out the first major change to its offense in two decades, merging its tried-and-true triple-option game with a shotgun-style approach, and doing so with unproven quarterback depth.
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 basic play run from the flexbone is known as a triple option, or veer. Often the quarterback first sends one of the slotbacks in motion to the other side.
The wishbone was designed to facilitate a running, option offense. It allows the quarterback to easily run the triple option to either side of the line. The quarterback first reads the defensive tackle or linebacker who is unblocked. As he reads the tackle/linebacker, he rides the ball in the fullback's gut.
