Power should be an easy addition as the blocking for the line is identical to our shovel option with one major exception. Instead of leaving the playside EMLOS uncovered and pitching (or shoveling) off his movement, we will make a kick-out block on this defender by a tight end or a lead back.
The backfield motion will look like veer first, then read or trap with the H back starting in one direction, then bending back after receiving the hand-off. We will leave the backside EMLOS unblocked and will watch his reaction from the sideline. The backside slot will run the bubble route just like on veer and read and if we get an EMLOS that chases the H back down the LOS, we will have the Q pull the football and either run, or throw the bubble. The following diagram shows H Power from Spread.
As you can see from the diagram, even though we a running a more traditional man blocking scheme, we still have two backside defenders that we do not have to block. Both the BSDE and the backside OLB are left to make critical decisions that will affect who will ultimately carry the ball for us.
We can add another dimension to this play by adding jet motion. Not only does this present problems for the defense as to what part of the field must be defended, it also gives us another blocker. In the following diagram, the F back fakes jet sweep then turns into the c-gap and looks to block the playside OLB, who will most likely be fast-flowing outside to intercept the set sweep. In addition, the jet motion should widen the PSDE making Y's block more effective. Q can still keep if the BSDE chases, but he no longer has the bubble option so he should be sure that this is the right decision.
I've added a link that shows Power being run a number of different ways. Enjoy.
