The Counter Read Arc play is a good meld between a gap scheme and zone read scheme. It can also be paired with bubble screens or RPOs.

| QB | Ride and decide. Run counter rack vs DE upfield hand the ball to the RB/DE chases, pull and run hash number sideline looking for 1 cut. |
| RB | Open to the QB expecting the ball get in hip of second puller |
| Y | Arc and block the first defender in the ally |
| Z | Block man on possible RPO |
| F | Block man on possible RPO |
| X | Block man on |
| PST | OG covered double with PSG to BSLB - OG uncovered check for movement on track to BSLB |
| PSG | Covered double with PST to BSLB - Uncovered block man A gap possible help from PST on movement |
| C | Covered double with PSG to BSLB / Uncovered backblock |
| BSG | Pull to trap the End man on line of scrimmage |

A twist on this that we have run very successfully is to have Y run a flat. Crack with one or both of the receivers (depending on coverage) and have QB RPO throw the ball.
Use it as a wrinkle or a way to run this if your QB isnt the most mobile.
