JFHUGHES,

In my opinion, I always want my center to be a top notch blocker and lots of times he is the very best blocker I have! I designed a play a long time ago where the center steps to a backside 3 tech as he delivers the ball to the QB from up under, another one where he takes a bucket step after the snap to cut off any backside pursuit. He is also a key member of a hybrid slide pass blocking scheme I have used for more than 20 years now. But, in the most commmonly used term PULL, not really.

We had a center a couple of years ago who was a stud. We had tried to pull him on some counter type plays and on an outside toss play because our Right Guard was not great a mover. The blocking worked well, but we had issues with the QB/C exchange. I think if you're in the gun, it will work very well. We worked under center and our QB would have had to change his footwork quite a bit, so we decided to scrap it, since we were successful with only pulling G's and T's. I have seen very little of it at the High School level, so if you could pull it off (please excuse the pun), I think you can really get into a defense's head so to speak.

There is nothing that will show a man's true character like the 2 yard line.

If he's more athletic then the BSG it works well also, if we're having problems with backside run-throughs we'll also do it.

If he is a good athlete you could probably pull him and have him kick out the DE on the power play and still lead with the FB.
