Here's the first one. Pre-snap the Eagles have a 6 man line with 3 WRs on the top of the screen and the Giants have 7 in the box:

Here are 2 great examples of a QB Power Sweep. Back in early October, Michael Vick was still the QB and we were using his mobility to break off big gains with the read option. This play however, was an old school power football play.

Next on the list we need to go all the way back to week 4 against the New York Giants. One of the most refreshing things about the regime change to Chip Kelly is that we may have made one of the most extreme head coaching changes from an offensive football philosophy. Gone are the days of pass-first, deep drop, finesse football. Chip and Pat have certainly installed some west coast offense concepts, but the mentality on offense is more simplified and of course Chip is not afraid to play smashmouth football.

Vick is going to motion Bryce Brown to the top of the screen to create an empty set. The Giants LB follows Brown signifying man coverage by the Giants. With the LB leaving the box, the Eagles now have 4 WRs at the top and 6 blockers for 6 defenders on the bottom:

The Eagles are now going to run a design QB sweep play. Celek and Peters are going to down block as Mathis and Kelce come out pulling. It just so happens the Giants have the worst call for this play as they blitz the LB through the B gap effectively taking him out of the play:

Peters ends up picking up the blitzer and Kelce and Mathis are free on their pull. Notice Celek with a great block on JPP:

Mathis completely unloads on the DB:

and Kelce takes out his man 10 yards beyond the LOS:

Vick turns the corner and gets the 1st down.

Later in the 2nd quarter, the Eagles go back to essentially the same play but to the opposite side of the field. The Eagles are again with a 6 man line and the Giants initially show 7 in the box.

Vick motions to an empty set sending McCoy off and #52 follows him once again setting up 6 on 6. The time Kelce and Herremans are going to pull to the outside:

Unfortunately, Celek does not execute his block as well this time as Kiwanuka gets the better of him off the snap. Kelce is taken on the back-side blitzer and there is enough of a scrum for Vick to get outside of the pocket:

The rest is up to Herremans who unloads on the safety:

Pancake!

And Vick nearly scores:

It's a very interesting play which is a similar concept to the QB Keep Counter Trey that OSU run with Braxton Miller and the Aggies run with Johnny Manziel although the blocking is different. The QB counter trey usually has misdirection blocking up front and involves only one pulling OL as the RB serves as the additional lead blocker.

However, Chip essentially provides the misdirection through the formation with 3 WRs on one side and motioning a 4th (the RB) to create an empty set.

No matter what you call it, this is smash mouth football!
