Power Read H-Flat

by Coach Jake Franklin

Power Read is an effective play to “block” a talented DE by just simply reading him. In this play, the QB has the ability to either hand the ball off to the RB or to throw the ball to the H-Back.

Typically on read plays, the QB will be the one to keep the ball and run it if the read (usually the DE) decides to pursue the RB. This play is unique because the H-Back essentially substitutes for the QB because he is the one who receives the ball if the DE gives the QB a “pull read.”

Finding ways to add wrinkles to ordinary plays and concepts gives the appearance that an offense is complex, yet is actually easy for an offense to install to their playbook.
