Takeaways from the video
You can use power runs to get the opponent to the point where they are selling out to stop your run plays and open up your passing game.
He likes the term “Run action passes” instead of play action passes because you want to sell the run.
These are not RPOs. They are plays designed to make the defense think you are running a power play to gain an advantage in the passing game.
The lineman the rules are almost the same as power.
Based on the formation, the routes change.
Few schemes, lots of window dressing.
The “window dressing” comes from the receivers running their routes and not from the offensive linemen.
