Coach,

Stay with the covered and uncovered rules. Vs the Double eagle front the TE base reach the 9, PS Tackle will step towards the 9 tech, if he does not see the near hip show, he attacks upfield to the lber.
PS guard base reach on the 3, center and backside guard combo to bs lber, and the bs tackle will crossover cut the 3. It is not the best front to run the play, the cut back is not great. We run the stretch play vs double eagle.

TE Base reach 9, PS tackle skip pull to force player, PS guard base reach, center skip pull for PS lber, bs guard and tackle crossover cut 1 man over.

Coach,

We picked this technique up from the offensive staff out at South Dakota State. Once they introduced it to us, we started to see how other teams were using this techniques on their pulls for stretch and tackle trap.

When we teach the skip pull we want the athlete to drop step with the foot away from the direction he is going to pull. The drop step is basically a crossover step behind the playside leg. Make sure he is getting depth and distance on the drop step. The reason for this tech. rather than turn and run is it keeps their shoulers square to the LOS and it allows them to see the lbers on any run throughs.

With the center the skip pull is a little different. He basically can only drop step for depth with very little distance on the backwards crossover. He can still do it, we rep this almost everyday in our pre-practice.
