Breakdown

PA Power O out of Singleback Doubles opens with a play action fake to the power run before the QB works a three level stretch to the boundary side. The outside receiver runs a deep corner route stemming vertically before breaking to the sideline, the slot receiver on that side runs a flat route as the shallow checkdown, and the two receivers on the opposite side run a flag route to the corner and a deep out that settles at intermediate depth. This is a play action man beater built to attack safeties who bite on the run fake, with the primary read progression going deep corner first, then working down to the deep out and finally the flat if the shell is too tight underneath.

Defensive Reads

Check the safety depth and alignment before the snap, since a single high safety struggles to cover both the corner route and the flag route on opposite sides of the field Watch the linebackers at the snap, if they crash hard on the run fake the flat route will be wide open for an easy checkdown against man coverage Look for a cornerback playing outside leverage on the boundary receiver, that alignment signals he is sitting on the corner route and the quarterback should look off before committing Identify a two high shell pre snap, since split safeties can rob both the corner route and the flag route and force the quarterback down to the shorter flat or deep out Key the underneath zone drops post snap, a sinking linebacker or user controlled defender dropping into the deep out lane shuts down that route and pushes the read to the flat

Usage Tips

Sell the play action by holding the ball on the fake as long as possible to freeze linebackers and safeties who key run

Use this on early downs like first and ten or second and short so the defense respects the power run look and bites on the fake

If you see a single high safety pre snap, target the deep corner route since the flag on the backside will occupy the free safety and open a one on one outside

Hot route the flat route into a quick option if you see man coverage with no underneath help, since it becomes an easy conversion throw against blitz looks

Pair this play in your call sheet with HB Power O and HB Slam so the defense has to respect the run fake every time you break the huddle in this formation
