Football Plays – The Strategy

If you’ve had a lot of success running middle, this cutback play will be something you want to throw at the defense every once in a while. With two TEs and a FB, the defense will be expect a power run up the middle, and will collapse, leaving a huge lane open on the weakside.

Player Responsibilities

Offensive Line
LT: Blocks man to the outside.
LG: Blocks man to the outside.
C: If covered, blocks man to the outside. If not, pulls weak side to trap block DT.
RG: Blocks man to the inside.
RT: Releases inside to block weak side LB.

Backs & Receivers
FL: Crackback blocks strong side CB.
LTE: Holds up E before releasing to block FS.
RTE: Holds up E before releasing to block CB.
FB: Fakes handoff up LG’s inside leg, blocks LB.
TB: Begins to follow FB, cuts back for handoff aiming for RG’s outside leg looking for seams.
QB: Reverse pivots, fakes handoff to FB, hands off to TB.

Coaching Tips

  • Make sure to have an at the line audible your QB can call to go with just the normal blast play.
  • The C doesn’t need to sustain his block on the strong side T for very long, but it needs to push him behind the play to keep the gap big enough for our TB.
  • The TEs need to hold up their respective DEs if they   are looking to penetrate into the backfield.The TB needs to stay focused, ready for the pitch at any time, because often on this play the pitch won’t happen until fairly late on in the play.
