Power or Buck? YES, please

This video deals with the Power and the Buck. We compare and contrast the two schemes and determine whether having both in your arsenal is redundant.

Great video. It's important to carry both schemes. We like Buck better right now because we are an under center Wing T team and our Fullback is about 5'5, 145 pounds. Instead, we adjust a couple different ways. First, We have a "stay call" that tells our play-side guard to stay home and our backside guard becomes the kick. We don't mind losing a pulling guard because we are only calling this if teams are blitzing their linebackers into A gap. On the other hand, we have a scheme called "TAG." It stands for Tackle and Guard, and we pull both the Quick Guard and Quick Tackle like a true GT counter scheme.The timing for this is different, but in both cases we have found these adjustments to be better for us than having our fullback kick. Thanks for the content, I love talking Gap scheme and hearing why people choose one over the other. As always thanks for the great content!

Great content! Would be interested more on what the motions and shifts look like. Really enjoy your videos!

What we've done in the past is switch to power when we went up against defenses that use double A gap defenders to stop buck.

[@CoachChip]

That is a GREAT adjustment. That is why teams need to carry both. Where does your Power hit? What gap?

[@bigshel1963]

@@CoachChip we attack the playside bubble (i.e., gap where there is no first level defender), so it could be A, B, or even C, depending on defensive alignment.

[@CoachChip]

@@bigshel1963 So, are y'all doubling at the point of attack?

[@bigshel1963]

@CoachChip yes, but mostly vs. even techs. Odd/shaded techs, we run those guys down the line (more horizontal displacement vs. vertical push).

I use the maverick rules a lot. I tell our H back, you always have the same blocking assignment no matter where I put you. Example if he’s kicking the edge on duo and he lines up play side he just “J” blocks the edge. Same play but lined up away from the play side, once the ball is snapped he crosses the set and kicks out the edge defender. Same duo play but looks different to a defense.

[@CoachChip]

That’s what I love about Duo and Maverick. I am curious; what do you call your Maverick?

[@nathanmiller2521]

@@CoachChip we don’t have a maverick call, we have words in the formation to tell the H back ( he’s also our attached TE at times) where to line up. Liz is attached left, rip attached right. King wing left and queen is wing right. He blocks the same assignment so matter where I line him up at. Play call… duo left is Florida for us… Liz Florida he base blocks the edge, king Florida he J blocks edge, queen Florida he kicks out the edge (looks like old school down) same plays 3 looks to a defense, same thing for us. Philosophy give the appearance of being multiple without being complicated
