By forcing the defense to react to it, you can then attack in other ways that you may not execute as well. But what if you're struggling for some reason to establish that base? The example you gave was a very good DE, and you are exactly right. You can go to a single back Power O, and block with a TE. You can run a weakside single back Power O and kick with an OT. You can option that DE. You can run Counter F and kick out the DE with a pulling G. All these are similar to your base, but in ways give you a different matchup that may allow you to establish what it is you want to do.Space Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11525412240793969593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544267494643079726.post-3221461134976036612017-11-12T12:34:30.506-05:002017-11-12T12:34:30.506-05:00After reading this I was thinking about base plays...After reading this I was thinking about base plays. Lets say a team has power as there base play. Would their playcalling not revolve around getting the power play to work by, using different blocking schemes (like listed above) to fix problems presented by the defense when stopping power?<br /><br />Example thought process: Trying to run power but it is getting stopped by DE who is too big for FB. So instead of a new play they just run power out of singleback to put the TE on the DE who is a better matchup. <br /><br />Would that be a sound approach to playcalling?FLChttp://footballleavesclues.comnoreply@blogger.com
