Football 101: Power

[@Eidenhoek]

Fun fact: I tried to follow the example Rams/Seahawks play, and *now* I understand *far* better why watching film takes hours to comprehend. I had to go through what this lineman did, go back, what did the next one, go back, what did that linebacker do...and where the heck did this guy come from screaming to the left (that's the pulling guard that I had forgotten about, so back again). This game's hard.

love these vids learn something new after every one! have you covered the trap run scheme yet?

[@WeeklySpiral]

Haven't made a video of it yet, but here is the article I wrote on it: weeklyspiral.com/2021/07/05/trap/ Will probably get a video version done in the next month or so

Very helpful, thank you!

[@DavidsGamingandVariety]

I'm not an experienced coach so maybe this is a dumb question. But what I don't get about this is, sure you get the POA double-team. But it's still x blockers against y defenders. The guy you pull is going to leave an unblocked man opposite him, who is free to go and mess things up.

[@anothaeasywin]

One of those plays when blocked right is deadliest run in the book

[@Salty202]

is the pulling guard always the backside guard

[@Markd315]

In power yeah I would say so, but sometimes you will pull a guard for a different assignment and then "wham" or "trap" the DT that got free penetration with a second blocker.

Nice!

[@sc29e]

I know this is splitting hairs but isn't the first example with the Rams really just a long trap play

[@WeeklySpiral]

You could call it a trap block, but I wouldn't call it trap. At least in my experience, the trap scheme is referring to kicking out/trapping interior defensive linemen and not the end man on the line of scrimmage.

Can you breakdown HB POWER SWEEPS and how to stop it ?

[@JasonL_Hawaii]

Penalty flag at the end, haha.
