Compatible Schemes

This archetype is used in the following schemes:

Air Raid

A variant of spread, Air Raid gives the quarterback control of the play at the line of scrimmage. The offense focuses on passing plays but trusts the quarterback to diagnose the defense and call audibles when running lanes open up.

Multiple Power Run

The Multiple Power Run uses traditional pulling linemen and lead blockers in the run game to grind through defenses. A quality Field General QB helps convert critical 3rd and short situations

West Coast Power Run

The West Coast Power Run creates weakness in the defense by stretching it out horizontally with short passing. The half backs then attack those weaknesses for big gains.

Other Right Tackle Archetypes

Pass Protector

Specialize in keeping the quarterback upright. Can handle any move a pass rusher throws at them but have trouble run blocking.

Agile

Uses good footwork to excel in zone blocking run plays and to handle quick finesse moves.
