How to teach it

  • 1Playside end down-blocks and the backside guard pulls to log or kick the edge.
  • 2Tailback runs the belly path tight to the down-blocks.
  • 3Teach the pulling guard to read log versus kick based on the edge defender's charge.

Common mistakes to fix

  • !Guard picks the wrong log/kick — fix by teaching if the end squeezes, log him; if he widens, kick.
  • !Tailback runs too wide — fix by aiming him tight off the down-blocks.
