Same side Power RPO to the 4 man surface (12P), over-hang drops into the box, good pull and throw by the QB on the 1v1 throw.

One of simplest, yet effective RPO's you can have in your playbook. Condensed trips bunch (4-strong) - Read the EMOLS and hand-off on the OZ or pull and throw based on his movement. Look how it segments all 22 players on the field (freeze it at 0:03).

Good design on the 11 Personnel RPO to the boundary. Man coverage, simple rub concept to get the first down. Philly does a good job of incorporating man beater concepts into RPO's.

TE over creates an extra run gap to the 3 tech side, putting the over-hang in a run/pass conflict. QB pulls and throws to the open

receiver to trips.

Patrick Mahomes was made to execute RPO's. He's mastered his movement keys in the 2nd level, here on a flat/slant wide zone

which they ran all day in their divisional win.

Power Stick RPO same side hand-off action. Easy movement key on the over-hang defender filling the box. The south-paw release is pretty!

📽️ CT RPO give hits big for Michigan. Arrow/Curl to the boundary widens the overhang and the box is blocked up nice. RB hits it with an aggressive north south cut back.
#RPOFootball
Oregon converts on the easy RPO here.. looks like Stanford got an alert screen call as the two DB's expand out to
#1
and
#2
, leaving
#3
with a huge hole on the backside glance route.
#RPOFootball
#spreadoffense
Boundary safety is the movement key on this RPO, he drops to support run, and the QB pulls and throws the in cut to the voided area. RB sells it well.

#spreadoffense
📽️ Pin and pull RPO, QB takes advantage of the easy access on the slot glance for a nice gain. OG/OT pass set backside creating additional conflict on the 2nd level.✍️
#RPOFootball
The perfect pre-snap pull & throw read RPO. There's no way the defense in that alignment is defending the out/slant concept. One of these routes is going to be open..
Split Line RPO - conflicting the 2nd and 3rd level. The stunting DT (shade) is unblocked and does a nice job not chasing the RB at the mesh. QB could have handed off for a potential nice gain as the LB's were not filling on run.

Nice 11P RPO concept vs. 2 high teams who drop their safeties in to the box. Switch release from the twins side taking advantage of a lot of grass to the middle of the field.

If you didn't catch 'The Art Of Coaching' documentary on HBO with Bill Belichick and Nick Saban yet, you should plan to. Here's a small clip from the ending credits, with Coach Saban talking about RPO origins.

The nice thing with RPO's is the ability to modify the 'thermostat' on the run blocking. Here the O-line is in more of a 'catch' block technique to the zone run side. This works especially well in the NFL where the rules are more strict for OL distance downfield

Pre-snap box count = 6 on 6.. H can either seal or climb, he seals. Movement key (over-hang) pulls out to play

📽️ 12P 3x1 closed. All glance to the trips side, Pin & Pull to the closed side. Second levels a step late, RB has one guy to beat on the give.✍️

#RunTheDamnBall
Love this RPO, Nick Foles treats it like midline, you'll see the backside glance appear late on the end zone view. O-line athleticism is A+.

End zone view of the

running an outside zone/center pull RPO with the HB/TE backside angle route. Philly gets the 2nd level movement that opens the passing window.

The beauty of the RPO 'conflict' is the hesitancy created on the defense. Whether it's bubble/slant/stick/arrow etc. make the defense decide what they're going to do and 'read' that decision to create a numbers advantage.
#RPOFootball
#spreadoffense
Favorable box numbers makes for an easy decision for the QB on this RPO give. 6 v 6 = hat on hat/QB cancels out edge pressure.

Michigan QB Shea Patterson
@SheaPatterson_1
gets a good read here on the front side dive RPO throw out of 12 personnel. His movement key (
#42
overhang) stays flat footed allowing the glance window to open for a nice gain.

- Tua reads the late over-hang blitz and replaces the voided area with the football. Safety is late on rotation down. The O-line does a great job staying within the safe zone for RPO blocking while still creating the box conflict look.
#spreadoffense
Good decision by
@McSorley_IX
here on the RPO. It's man concept blocking (G_C_G) with the OT's pass setting to trigger the over-hangs on the
#2
seams which opens the run for a big play.
