HistoryHistoryWhy Power “O”

• 1 Back background– Inside Zone, Counter, Stretch, etc.

• Moved up in Divisions – VI to I– First year 6-5

• Needed more “umph” in our ground game = POWER “O”– Following Year League Champions

Power “O”Power “O”Where we learned it

• University of Illinois– Former Head Coach Ron Turner– Clinic in Anaheim– 4 day visitation on just Power “O” and it’s play-action

• University of Wisconsin– Offensive Coordinator Brian White

Power “O”Power “O”Who else runs it

• Common play for the NFL teams and many college programs including:

– University Michigan

– University of Southern California

– University of Miami

– Virginia Tech University

– University of Texas

Power “O”Power “O”Types of players needed

• Fullback – Hard nosed player that can block and catch

• TE – Great down blocker with ability to catch

– Must be able to handle 6I defender by himself

• OL – Able to sustain push on double teams, while also being coordinated enough to come off on 2nd level defenders (LBs)

• Tailback – Great back would be nice, but not necessary

– Disciplined and patient runner

Power “O”Power “O”Advantages (7)

1. Good versus a wide variety of defenses2. Good play for various down and distance

situations3. It’s a tone setting play

A. Forces opponents to play at a high-physical level

4. Sets up great high % play-action5. Good versus interior blitzes/stunts6. Great goal line play7. Straight ahead play vs. fast teams

A. Equalizer

Power “O”Power “O”Disadvantages (5)

1. Base Play A. Must be an every game play

2. Practice TimeA. Improvement through repetition

1) Practices/Games

3. “Check with me” systemA. Double Tight End Sets

4. Blocking adjustments versus different frontsA. Even, Odd, Bear, 6-2, etc. etc. – Learning the rules

5. Personnel requirements – FB

Power “O”Power “O”The play itself

• General Analysis of Play:

– Off tackle play with two lead blockers for the runner

• 1st blocker kicks out

• 2nd blocker pulls up for responsibility

Back to Main Menu

Offensive Line General RulesOffensive Line General Rules

Playside (Center to TE)

1. Create as many double teams as possible

– It all starts with the Centers call

– No double team = down block (level 1 to level 2)

(FB = Kick out)

Backside

1. Backside guard pulls for callside LB

2. All remaining backside players block “gap, backer, peel”

Back to Main Menu

Offensive Line Points of Emphasis Offensive Line Points of Emphasis (7)

1. Create as many double teams as possible to the play side

2. Double teams should be called in priority of inside out from the center to the call side. Ex. Versus a 3,5,& 9 shades the call should be “Gate” not “Tango”

3. Double teams should get vertical push on DL to invite ILBs to run through underneath plays

4. Double teams should take DL to ILBs

5. Do not come off of double teams early

6. Double teams should incorporate “4-hands, 4-eyes” principles

7. Never allow color to penetrate the LOS to the inside of your double team (you may come off of a double team to block a threat because of stunts/blitzes)

Back to Main Menu

Fullback RulesFullback Rules

• Blocking responsibility: First defender on-to-outside shade of the play side tight end

– If responsibility slants inside and gets down blocked by TE, continue on path to kick the eventual force player

– If run weak, first defender on-to-outside shade of the play side tackle

Back to Main Menu

Runningback RulesRunningback Rules

• Aiming point is the inside leg of the playside tackle.

•Receive hand-off with eyes finding the backside pulling guard

• FOLLOW THE GUARD; DO NOT CUTBACK OR BOUNCE!!!!

– Read the Guards rear-end; it will point the direction you should go

• Once through the hole, if forced to bounce running hash, number, sideline

• Give go calls

• Always go 100%; whether you have the ball or not (Power Read)

Back to Main Menu

Quarterback RulesQuarterback Rules

• “Get the ball to the back as deep as possible”– Get snap from center

– O=Open up with play side foot at @ 5 o’clock (right), 7 o’clock (left)

– Work for width and depth, allowing the fullback to clear

– Once cleared, extend the ball with both hands to the I-back

– See the ball being placed into the RBs gut

– Pull both hands back together while simultaneously “popping” up to simulate play-action pass

• Eyes should go to the flat defender to give the QB a hint when play-action is called/needed

Power Read

• Read Backside “C” gap defender, generally the defender on the BST

1) If defender turns shoulders or runs down the line = pull the ball

– If the read says pull then carry the ball “High & Tight” and proceed to run hash numbers, sideline while simultaneously giving “GO!” calls

2) If the defender slow plays, or if you have any uncertainty = hand the ball off and carry out your fake

– Carry out all fakes and never look back

• Always go 100%; whether have the ball or notBack to Main Menu

Wide Receiver RulesWide Receiver Rules
