Wedge blocking

We have used wedge blocking as a way to feed a fullback the ball. We've been most successful with it against 50 fronts.

Your fullback needs to be able to cut though and have some vision to get more than a couple yards. We would use often as the first play of the game or the first play in a different formation to first see what the D was going to give us.

If your fullback isn't as mobile as you would like, it may work better out of the pistol.

Against a 50 front wedge is preferred but against a 40 front we've had more success attacking the open A Gap with a fullback dive, cutting the backside 2/sometimes a 1 and having the center lead on the mike. Definately would not try it though against a really good 1 tech though.
