This is a defensive fundamental that doesn't just apply to the option.
I understand your comment, but don't confuse the spread option with the triple option. The ball is hidden much better in the triple option is much more difficult to defend when it is run properly. However, in most offensive schemes balance is incorporated and passing is a relevant and realistic play. In the triple option offense the pass is kind-of like a trick play.
The triple option is designed to frustrate the DEs and hope that you somehow forget to tackle the dive.

No I understand that well, ran the triple option in HS. But my point was that our defense, in particularly DE's and OLB's, did a poor job of staying "at home." You saw a lot of guys players get caught chasing the ball and taking themselves out of position.
A prime example is our DE's not recognizing screen plays and getting sucked into the QB allowing backs to slide in behind them and pick up big yards. I understand that the triple option is designed differently than the spread and deception is a larger part of the triple option. My point was strictly that our defensive players have struggled with chasing the ball all year long, maybe these types of drills (not necessarily option specific) would have been helpful a lot earlier than now.
