Power Read

also: inverted veer

Power Read leaves the defender ordinary Power would kick out and makes the quarterback read him instead. The back threatens the perimeter while the pulling guard leads the quarterback inside. Widen with the back and the quarterback keeps; squeeze the inside lane and the ball goes outside.

Spread Option

Power Read: Power Read to the trips side. R crosses on the sweep, the left guard pulls for Q inside, and the playside end is read instead of kicked out. Both paths stay live until Q reads him.
