Does anyone here run the sweep out of the pro set like the old Packers Sweep?

If so I have a question. The way the play is designed is the playside tackle will block down both guards will pull and the frontside back will block the man over the playside tackle. If there is a TE to that side he will block first man inside that isnt the down lineman over the tackle. I have read about this play in a few different places and the only question I have has never been answered. So here it is. When the back fills for the tackle blocking down does he fill before or after the playside guard pulls wide?? In my mind I would think he would fill before but then would that screw up the timing of the play if the playside guard has to wait for the back to fill?

Thanks

Not in 10 years have we ever been run down by penetration through this area.

So then the TE need to block down on the PST"s man and the FB reads the PSILB or does he kick out the man outside the TE? Thanks

However, if the DE is not handled by the TE, he must read and react to this as well.

We also have the FB attack the contain/support defender. We tell him to hook him inside if possible, but 80-90% of the time, kick him out and drive him to the sidelines.

We pull both guards, and we lead the playside guard as others on the board said. With the backside guard we tell him to get around quick, and to blow up any penetration, but if nothing dangerous (i.e. back is ahead of him) he is allowed to turn upfield and cut off pursuit (LB or S)

Sometimes the backside guard helps the TE, but one thing we tell the TE is if he can't hook his man he can drive him to the sidelines.

Anyway, my point being, we give the backside guard the option to blow up any of those penetrating defenders, though we hope he can simply be another puller. The coaches here seem to have had plenty of success not worrying about it, but that's what we tell him.
