In this video, Coach Jarrett Troxler from Massillon Washington HS (OH) details the best two ways to run the power read option from the Pro-Gun Spread System.

The first way to run the power read option is called “Flash”, the most important distinction with “Flash” is that the running back will run directly in front of the Quarterback at the mesh point and looks to take the ball wide and stay horizontal to the sideline. The Quarterback reads the defensive end and if the end takes the running back, the Quarterback will take the ball and run in the B Gap. Conversely, if the Defensive End takes the Quarterback, the Quarterback hands the ball off to the running back.

The second way to run the power read option is called “Knife”, the difference here this play is like a veer read-option play. The running back will align on the playside and he has an inside track towards the B Gap if he is given the ball from the Quarterback. The Quarterback, still reading the defensive end for his key, will either hand the ball off to the running back or pull the ball and he is now the edge runner on this play.

The blocking on both these plays is the same, so there is nothing different from a teaching standpoint for the remaining players on the field. Incorporate these plays into your practice drills to ensure your Quarterback understands the importance of reading his defensive end key and reap the benefits of some easy offense!
