Breakdown

HB Power O out of Singleback Wing Tight 13 personnel is a gap scheme run play built to pull a blocker across the formation and create a lead running lane at the point of attack. The diagram shows the fullback or wing motioning across the formation to lead through the hole while the offensive line executes down blocks and a kick out at the edge, and the HB takes a slight one step aiming point behind the guard before pressing the crease. This is a downhill run play, not a man or zone beater in the passing sense, so the primary read is the HB reading the pulling blocker's kick out block first, then working off the fullback's lead block into the alley.

Defensive Reads

Watch for stacked box fronts with the linebackers at normal depth, since this tells you the defense is expecting run and may fill gaps quickly. Key the play side defensive end and outside linebacker, since a hard crash inside can be countered by bouncing the run outside off the kick out block. Look for safety rotation before the snap, if a safety cheats down into the box the defense is loading up to stop this exact gap scheme. Post snap, identify if the Mike linebacker is reading the pulling blocker and flowing with it, a disciplined Mike who stays home can blow up the play at the mesh point. This play struggles against gap exchange run blitzes and stacked fronts with extra defenders in the box, so avoid calling it against known run blitz packages or overloaded fronts.

Usage Tips

Run this play into base 4-3 or 3-4 fronts where the defense has not overloaded the play side gap with an extra defender.

Check the box count pre-snap and if the defense has six or more defenders stacked at the line, consider audibling to HB Counter Wk or PA Power O to attack the aggression.

Use motion or shifts to identify if linebackers are flowing hard with the fullback's path, since slow or late flowing linebackers open up a bigger cutback lane.

Pair this play in a sequence with PA Power O and PA Ctr Waggle since both use the same blocking action and hard fake, keeping linebackers frozen and off balance.

Best called on early downs like first and second and short to medium yardage situations where defenses are more likely to play base run fits instead of nickel or dime sub packages.
