Power I Formation “PIE”- Base 2
21
The following formations / plays can be run left or right.
I’ve only drawn up the play to one side.
I have been running this variation of the Power I since around 2011. It is very powerful
at the youth football level. I normally run unbalanced or Big about 80% of the time.
The PIE formation is a powerful running formation. It is
very useful when you only have 1 speed back at TB and
you may have 2 or 3 FBs or TEs to use at blocking backs.
I use when I have a slower than average backfield and
very deadly when you have an above average backfield.
OLM splits less than 1 foot. At hole maybe 3 foot if no one in Gap to try to widen Defenders.

Pie Deep Rt Spin 2@ Lew Toss Sweep
Blocking Call: GOLD
The Deep call is best used to get outside the OTs
and run wide. Or if you have a great open field
runner have the BBs block LION and let BC cut off
the slow LM blocks or Zone Larry / Roger and let
the WB and FB Lead DUO on the main defensive
tackler usually DE or LB.

Set Up: Rings or Cones set up to simulate one side of the Offensive Line. 3 coaches /
dads / players to hold bags to simulate defense. 1 coach to simulate the block on
the contain man. Coach or Center can snap the football to the running back.

• Do not let RBs cut back to the inside on this drill
Run tough
• The RBs should weave toward the near sideline between two bags
• RBs should use stiff arms in open field – attack outside D shoulder
• RBs will read butt of blocker at the contain point cut up or outside
• Football needs to be in correct position for stiff arms
• All RBs should run through this drill Use stiff arm with inside hand on
CB outside shoulder to push off
• 95% of the time try to get to the ladder only a few cases to cut
Defender and bounce to outside
back inside
• Do not get too close to sideline at least one yard away
• Might want to teach RBs the 3/5 yard line cut back to mess with a
pursuing Defender
