Buck Sweep Right

Halfback takes the handoff and follows two pulling guards around the right end.

Concept: Both guards pull right (playside guard kicks out the end man, backside guard turns up to lead), fullback fills for the backside guard.

How to teach it

  • 1Guards pull with an open first step (not around the QB), keeping shoulders square down the line.
  • 2Halfback stays patient one count so both guards get out ahead — don't outrun your blockers.
  • 3Playside guard kicks OUT, backside guard leads UP; drill the two paths separately before combining.

Common mistakes to fix

  • !Halfback bounces too wide before the pullers arrive — teach him to press the hole and cut off the lead guard.
  • !Guards pull too flat and trip over feet — teach a rip-and-run technique gaining depth off the ball.
