Breakdown

Jet Power Read is a run play out of Shotgun Wing Slot Offset that combines jet motion misdirection with a power blocking scheme up front. The diagram shows the jet sweep man motioning across the formation while the offensive line pulls and seals for a downhill power run, with the QB reading the edge defender to decide between handing off or pulling the ball on the option. This is a run heavy design meant to punish light boxes and overpursuit, with the primary read being the QB keying the read defender on the play side edge before committing to the give or the keep.

Defensive Reads

Watch the play side defensive end or outside linebacker, his crash or contain decision determines whether the QB gives or keeps the ball Look for teams stacking extra defenders in the box pre-snap, this play is designed to attack light fronts and can get stuffed against heavy run blitz looks Identify if the linebackers flow hard with the jet motion, over pursuit to the motion side opens up the power run lane behind the pulling linemen Man coverage defenders who chase the jet motion man can be baited out of position, creating natural running lanes for the power scheme Disciplined edge defenders who sit and read the mesh point without crashing take away the keep option and force the offense into the power run every time

Usage Tips

Use jet motion pre-snap to identify if the defense is running with the motion man, which tells you if you are facing man or zone principles up front

Check the play side edge defender before the snap, if he is crashing hard on run downs this is a great time to call it because the read option element punishes aggressive edge defenders

Best used on early downs like first and second down when defenses are stacking the box expecting standard run concepts

Pair this with Jet HB Angle or Fake Jet HB Wheel out of the same set so the defense has to respect both the jet run action and the play action off it

If the defense shows a light box or blitzes off the edge, pull the ball on the read and get outside quickly before the backside pursuit can close
