Toss Sweep Right

Tailback catches a pitch and runs wide behind the fullback and pulling guard.

Concept: Playside blocks down, the guard pulls to kick, and the fullback leads around the edge.

How to teach it

  • 1Teach the toss as a soft lead pitch the back can catch in stride at full speed.
  • 2Pulling guard sprints to kick out the contain man — get around the corner fast.
  • 3Tailback gains width first, then turns north-south off his blockers.

Common mistakes to fix

  • !Tailback turns upfield too soon into pursuit — fix by stressing width before he cuts.
  • !Pulling guard is late to the corner — fix with a timed race to the edge landmark.
