History and Evolution: Power O - Part III - The Modern Era of Power Diversity

Just like any other

Part I - The Origin of the Power Series

II . part - Off Tackle Power is entitled to title


Hold the power series

Although “Power” was defined as a variant of Power O without being caught in the 1980s, most crimes, including West Coast crimes that predominate in the background, still take most of the Power Series games in textbooks, among other names. This involves using multiple defenders to change the flow of the backfield, change the shot lock, lock the head, or send someone else somewhere.


The path to power exploration

18/19 BOB (Big-On-Big, Back-On-Backer) Classic Power Sweep

1982 San Francisco 49ers textbook




It’s similar to a winged game, Buck Sweep, popular in the 1970s. And it was definitely on the 1975 Delaware Wing T playbook

Delaware Wing Testbook since 1975

And this will be the main problem as Wing T adapts to modern games.


Auburn Offensive Textbook 2010


As the outside force becomes more basic, the team begins to introduce a version of the standard power "bounce" to focus on blocking shots.

1995 Florida Invasion Collection



2000 Louis Rams Attacks Playbook Playbook


While this is probably the standard power and call, the EMOL defense and the standard momentum and depth allow this game to pass.



A source of modern bluffs and counters

The 16/17 bluff is a repetition of this scale of power, when the FB falsifies a follower and the PSG pushes it to act as a downward scheme. But most importantly, it holds the shock unit and the wrap unit.

1982 San Francisco 49ers textbook

It’s similar to the way some groups are down today. Here with BSG instead of central push


Currently we do not want to cover Global Counter OT and Counter OF / OH, but it is almost impossible because:

1989 Alabama Offensive Collection

It is true that they are cousins. In the 1990s, most game books included both, but not in the beginning. Many command options (and the use of field lock for many of these commands have already been introduced) rarely attract OL. But they still include trap blocks as a change. So your strength in fighting this system depends (or not in this case) on the BSG strike bloc and the FB leadership.

1968 Houston Hurl Playbook

Until now, counterattacks were based on the wrong direction in the background, including game simulations. This cousin power has changed the game a lot. The opposite OT, like most counters that day, started in the wrong direction from the back and from the game.

This could be a FB trap and a back attack (or else a return of the wing).

1983 Nebraska Offensive Collection

Or there could be a false back and forth with the FB, a remnant of an era split with a modern configuration of igniting without being captured.

1985 UConn Offensive Player

In the mid-1980s, there was a revolution in zoning and teams like the Joe Gibbs Washington football team. It allows the FB and 12 people to seal the back with their wings.

1992 Washington Redskins Playbook

And when it was difficult to lock the back, the opposite appeared, using the same two shoes and collecting games as power, but changing his responsibilities.


1994 Penn State Offensive Playbook

Power away

Another thing that area / option commands use is breaking blocks as an internal change in the basic model. This has changed the strength of the A-gap in many textbooks.

90/91 O is a form of power gap, so OL splits the defense and goes to ESR MIKE.

1982 San Francisco 49ers textbook


At the time, it also appeared in the book Nebraska Choices

1983 Nebraska Offensive Collection

He gained new life when North Dakota began actively using A-gap power


Technician deal6

TE’s head back has given Power a lot of trouble in the past. To shoot too tight, it’s not far enough to get a good combination inside the board and drive on the board. The key to playing with Arc TE TE Stress often affects the natural spread of technique 6, such as playing a sharp pass or defending a range block.

14/15 HB O is a variant of Y-Arc Power O, which has become a natural way to block a defender with the help of 6 technologies. Arc blocks typically extend the player to impact and allow TE to deal with grease.

1997 Buffalo Bill: An Offensive Book

1982 San Francisco 49ers textbook


16/17 BIM (seen above, but this time with Y-arc) C-Gap Defender has PST and FB off-Y-arc and PSLB, with a possible double command to avoid the extractor.

1982 San Francisco 49ers textbook

Fraud support

Lag OA Gap is a form, the only back force with a split flow at the back, is an early form of darts. In the 80’s and 90’s the teams basically supported different types of split streams so that the defenders wouldn’t immediately see the direction of the chef’s career.

1983 San Francisco 49ers offensive book


1998 Wisconsin Book

The only force behind it

While the answer may seem obvious now, with all the Power Solid and Split Flow versions you’ve seen above, the initial expansion commands were difficult to determine how to capture power in their frame. Some went straight to the modern answer.

1998 Washington Husky Offensive Textbook


Others tried to avoid catching it, as we have seen with early groups in the region, that Air Raid mostly retains the main blocking pattern (note: F doesn’t matter if it’s here in a slot or lined up in the back).

Oklahoma 1999 Offensive Collection


Darts were another favorite of the time

Northwest 2000 Offensive Collection


And some teams are starting to realize that kicking the field is the easiest thing to do

Kansas Offensive Text 2002


The Patriots put the shot into the series and allow them to draw BSG or BST depending on their defensive position.

2004 New England Patriots Offensive Tutorial

And now it’s run by a group of 11 to 10 people


Ohio State Textbook for 2014


The 11th team tried again to find a way to handle the 6th technique, this time without the benefit of stopping the blow. TE vs DE can be a bad game and can go into a side-by-side twist or often without the help of OT if someone is practicing 4i tactics. The solution is another type of BIM block, with a combined lock from PSG to BSLB, until the PST comes out.

Ohio State Offensive Textbook 2014




Accept a multi-use attack

Since the 1980s, teams with different defenders have sought to maintain some of the numerical advantages of 3-RB T formation. This led to games like BOB Trey O, which was Power O, where both defenders played OL.

1992 attacker textbook


Locks have been added to the game using multiple TE or WR moves


San Francisco Offensive Text 2014

I wrote two articles about Wisconsin using exactly that ( link 1 , link 2 ).


In a more modern sense, this led to the Q-Run game, which used RB as an additional blocker.

2014 San Francisco 49ers Offensive Book



Teams have also learned to use WR or TE to take advantage of the power lock on the balls.

Utah 2004 Textbook


Reading opportunities
Despite the expansion, one of the main ways in which teams have tried to "add blockers" is to return to the alternative set of games, with an interesting twist on the use of force as a limit to the possibilities of the game. T-formation time parameters.

People knew he wanted to use a power lock on a reading circuit, but it was hard to understand at first.
2007 AFCA "The Power Game"

During this time, they become TCUs known as power reed.

Ohio State Textbook for 2014


Here the WR uses 2-back access and lead power readings

Ohio State Offensive Textbook 2014



This, in turn, used many features to add a set of options (Y-Arc, Lead, etc.) along with the second blocker and Dart on the wrong side. This basically closes the cycle of the original T-shaped material.

Pennsylvania Crime 2019


In order to prevent the articulation from overturning in terms of security, another way to read the force effectively is to return it to the face of the Republic of Belarus.


Other repetitions of the reading include:




More in US football


And it’s now widely used in RPO games, both for screens (already seen when Auburn did it in 2010) and for field attacks.
