Wth is the power dive?


It's the center success of the spread offense. In offenses with a large QB like Tebow and Cam the QB runs up the middle on the QB dive. If these plays are allowed to be successful then in order to stop them more LBs and extra safeties have to be brought in to stop this play. This allows for more spaces on the edges for counter plays rather they be quick out passes, RBs coming in motion, or an option game. If the QB is smaller then usually a large back that can take some punishment is brought in to the power inside runs and the quicker QB runs zone reads.

This


with Marshall, we wont dive him inside much. We do that with Cap this year and Mason last year. Marshall is just another edge running back in that play

Oh ok you were combining the two. I was confused thinking you thought power dive was an actual thing. In the context you presented it in now makes sense.
