Sprint Draw Blocking Schemes

We also use the sprint out effectively, and the play that works for us is our counter. In our sprint out game, the QB takes 2 deep steps before sprinting out. On our counter, we end up running to the opposite side of where the QB is attacking. If it looks like a sprint out to the right, this is what the counter action would be: Left side and Center block down, to the right. RG pulls to left and kicks out DE or blitzing LB. RT pulls around to the left and tries to seal inside. The FB fills the right B gap for the pulling G. The TB shuffle steps to the right then receives inside handoff from QB and follows G & T to the left. This can be done to the strong or weak side. If TE was on the left, he would block down also. If he was on the right, he would block C gap for the pulling T. The DE to the sprint side has a choice. He can chase the TB, or stay with the QB. We have a Counter Boot off of this play, where the QB is naked to the right, the FB chips through B gap, then goes to the flat. The TE and other receivers can do whatever complementary routes you want. Both the counter and the counter boot have worked great for us, and we constantly hear people yelling "PASS" when we run our counter. Also, make sure that the QB has his head down field for the first 2 or 3 steps before he looks the ball into the TB's belly. This really sells the pass look. Good luck!
