DIAGRAM 2: Tight Slot Right , 26 Power Pass (Pass Routes).
You can set up this play by running power into the 5 and 6 holes when the outside linebacker — or the man responsible for the flat — comes up to provide run support against this play.
Make it look like the power run and have the TE and right HB come inside to give it a power feel. The TE hooks to the outside at 10 yards.
The RH breaks at 10 yards and runs a flag route. This will either pull the corner deep with him or leave him open.
The fullback— or the first back out of backfield — dips his shoulder and runs past the defensive end. He must make it look like he’s going to block him. He releases into flat at 7 yards.
The left HB makes a good play fake, then blocks the end. The SE runs a skinny post.
If you’ve set it up correctly by using the run, this play works every time! You can run it out of just about any backfield set (except for a single-back formation) or unless you use motion. It works best out of tight slot.
