Play: WR Out

Setup:

  1. Block the running back
  2. Put the square/X receiver on a hitch route

Reads:

  1. Your first read is the R1/RB full back on the flat route
  2. The second read is the square/X receiver on his hitch route
  3. The third read is the X/A tight end on his quick post route
  4. The final read is the circle/B receiver on the curl route

Overview: This quick-hitting play is good zone beater but can beat man as well. You can put the tight end on a crosser for some variation if you are using TE apprentice. Remember, the main two reads against man are the post route from the tight end and curl route from circle/B.

Play: Power O

Setup: None

Overview: Power O is very effective this year against many different looks. It is helpful to not sprint right after receiving the handoff, as the blocks take a little bit of time to develop. You can also run this play to either side.
