Power features a series of blocks on the front side of the play, looking to clear out the first level of the defense while a backside puller comes through to clean up the rest. Unlike zone plays, power plays have a predetermined point of attack and it’s more dependent on multiple clean blocks in order to give the running back room to operate.

A very similar play to the Iso, the Power is another smash mouth running play sometimes called the hardest hitting play in football. The power can be run out of a variety of formations, from the I, to single back and shotgun sets, any formation with a running back.
