Breakdown

Jet HB Power is a gap scheme run out of Singleback Wing Slot with 12 personnel that uses jet motion across the backfield to hold the defense flow before the handoff. The diagram shows the running back taking a jet motion path from the backfield toward the play side, with the blocking angle indicated by the red arrow pulling frontside to seal the edge as the offensive line works down blocks and a puller kicks out the force defender. This is a pure run play, not a play-action or RPO, and the primary read progression is a one-cut path where the ball carrier reads the puller's kickout block first, then works off the down blocks from the play side guard and tackle to find the crease created by the double team at the point of attack.

Defensive Reads

Watch for defenders keying the jet motion presnap since a linebacker sliding over or a safety rotating down signals man coverage or a run blitz look Identify the strength of the box presnap, if the defense stacks extra defenders to the play side of the power call this run gets clogged quickly Post snap, key the play side linebacker's gap fill, if he stays home instead of flowing with the puller the hole will be tighter than expected This run gets shut down by disciplined gap sound fronts with a two gap nose tackle who can hold the point and a linebacker who reads the puller without biting on jet motion This play beats defenses that overpursue the jet motion fake, especially aggressive man coverage teams or blitz heavy defenses that send extra bodies to the perimeter chasing the motion man

Usage Tips

Use the jet motion presnap to identify if the defense is in man or zone by watching if a linebacker or defensive back follows the motion man across the formation

Call this on early downs like first and ten or second and short when defenses are more likely to sit in base run fronts rather than sub packages

If the defense shows a heavy box presnap with the safety creeping down, consider checking to a companion play like PA Power O or Jet PA Power to punish overaggressive run fits

Pair this play in sequence with Jet Sweep and Jet PA Boot Y Leak so the defense has to respect the outside jet action every snap, which sets up the interior power lane

User the fullback or lead blocker at the point of attack to manually finish the kickout block against edge defenders who try to squeeze the hole

Attack base 4-3 or 3-4 fronts with two gap defensive tackles since the double team and puller combo can move bodies more easily than against one gap penetrating fronts
