Blocking Question?

Run the old tried-and-true "Power" here coach...

Kick out with the lead back and pull the backside guard through the seam. Run up inside with the RB following the pulling guard inside the kickout block.

Good stuff.

If you are running an off-tackle play back away from the sweep side there are two ways that we have blocked it.

We call the plays Belly Q. Slam or Belly Q. Man.
Belly Q. is the backfield motion and Slam or Man is the blocking scheme.

Belly Q. Slam we down block at the point of attack. QT is either double with QG or releasing to ILB. QG is either double with the QT or the Center. The HB kicks out the DE and the FB runs the Beely Q. path. One key for us is to align the fly motion guy outside on the two WR side so our inside receiver can crack on the first LB on or inside him.

Belly Q. Man is the same exact blocking scheme except the QT is now driving out the man on or outside him and the HB is lead blocking through the hole on the first LB on or inside.

All great stuff! I think with the defesive flow of the fly sweep I should be able to get the backside guard there to kick out the end. I think this could be a great play because if the outside backer flows with the sweep the tackle could combo up to either him or another backer and there will be ALOT of open space. Good posts, good stuff!

Yeah I wish our QB was a little more athetic becuase the option away from motion is a great idea. And Yes, I am excited about the FLY!!!!

When we pull the backside guard to kick out the end we will combo the DT or down block himw with the end. We call this blocking scheme long but we run a counter/scissors action in the backfield. We fake sweep then hb through the 4 hole and give to fb coming back through the five hole. We just call the play counter long.
