Wing-T Buck sweep
Wing-T Buck Sweep sends the halfback to the wing behind two pulling guards. The playside tackle down-blocks the 3-technique DT, the tight end climbs inside to seal the middle linebacker (Mike), the wingback arc-blocks outside the edge to seal the playside linebacker (Sam), the playside guard kicks out the defensive end penetrating upfield, and the backside guard wraps into the alley to lead on the Free Safety.
Part of the Buck sweep play concept.
The call
| Position | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Playside guard | open pull flat along the line, kick out the penetrating defensive end (E) to blow open the perimeter alley. |
| Backside guard | pull deep behind the down blocks, turn up inside the kick-out block, and lead through the alley to take on the Free Safety (FS). |
| Halfback | crossover step through the heels of the fullback, press the line, and cut upfield through the alley behind the backside guard. |
| Fullback | step to clear the midline and carry out a hard trap fake into the backside A-gap to freeze linebackers. |
| Quarterback | reverse pivot, hand off to the crossing halfback, and carry out bootleg waggle fake away from flow. |
| Playside tackle | Gap-Down-Backer rule. Down-block the 3-technique defensive tackle (T) to anchor the frontside wall. |
| Tight end | Gap-Down-Backer rule. With no inside gap defender, release to the second level to seal the flowing middle linebacker (M). |
| Wingback | Arc block. Release outside the defensive end (E) to clear the kick-out, arch upfield, and seal the playside linebacker (S) inside to open the alley. |
| Center | block the nose tackle (N), securing the frontside A-gap. |
| Backside tackle | execute a cutoff scoop block on the backside defensive tackle (T). |
| Split end | stalk the cornerback and work deep toward the free safety (FS) to prevent an angle into the alley. |
