Frequently asked questions
What parts of the power play does this video cover?
The four offensive line elements Washburn built the play on: the pin block that controls the gap, the pulling backside guard, the read double team and the tight end's techniques and responsibilities.
Is this for college coaches only?
No. It is Division II film and teaching, but the pin block, pull and double-team techniques are the same ones a high school line coach needs to run power well.

Coach Miller treats the tight end's block as one of the most critical elements of the play, and he devotes a section to the tight end's techniques and responsibilities rather than treating him as an afterthought.
