10 personnel RPO-Effective Run Pass Options out of 10 personnel

10 personnel

You often see teams run RPO’s out of 10 personnel. You can definitely run numerous concepts out of 10 personnel as it spreads the field, allows the offense to get good spacing and creates opportunities in the run game vs light boxes.

Example #1

UNC runs it's man beater vs Duke.

Duke is in man free coverage with 2 rat (underneath zone defenders) playing run and curl/flat zones. 

Nice double in concept

Good read and throw.

Example #2
Eagles Stick Concept

Eagles run inside zone rpo with a stick route concept. This is a good zone beater as you get the mike playing the run.

Nice Stick Concept

QB reads leverage and makes a good throw.

Nice pass and completion

Example #3

Hawaii 2019 Stack formation smash route

#1 runs the out

#2 runs the post corner

Wide Zone Run action. Read the OLB for the RPO

The OLB stays inside the cb bails so easy read for the qb on the out route!

Example #4

They run an inside zone RPO

2 Examples and clips of the RPO below.

#1 runs a 5 yard smash

#2 runs a seem route. On both occasions #2 is wide open as the qb makes a nice read. The LB are very disciplined not to go downfield off the reaction of the LB.

RPO Shovel with chute route with 2 blockers

This is an option as the wr #3 runs the chute. If you get 3 over 2 throw the chute route. If it is covered you have the shovel option on the DE.

Nice design by Moorhead.

3 over 2 so he throws it

Out isn't covered he has the shovel option.

Nice job by Coach Joe.
They run the same design above on the goaline for a nice TD

They get 3 over 3 so the out cut isn't there. The QB is forced to read the DE and reads it as the DE takes away the shuffle. The QB uses his ability to get outside.

The man coverage pulls the safety out on #3 and the Guard logs the LB on his pull. Leads to an easy walk in touchdown.

Good play and easy scoere for Oregon.

Nice execution on the 2 plays above by Oregon under Coach Moorhead in 20
