Concept: Both guards pull playside to kick out and lead while the wingback down-blocks the edge.

How to teach it
- 1Rep the two-guard pull timing so they don't collide, stagger their pulls
- 2Teach the back to stay tight behind the second puller
- 3Use the fullback fake to sell the buck action
Common mistakes to fix
- !Back running too flat and getting strung out — cue him to get downhill off the kickout
- !Guards pulling at the same depth and tangling — stagger their tracks
