27-48 Buck (to TE)
If you possess great speed in the slot positions (2 & 4-backs) the Buck Sweep is a great perimeter play. Here are the assignments for the Buck Sweep.
Offensive Line
The ST & TE are going to execute down blocks to the first person to their inside. If that person is a down lineman it will be important for them to take a flat step, getting their head in front of the defender to prevent penetration. If they are making a second level block then they need to find a common meeting point with the LB and drive the defender away from the ball carrier making sure he is between the defender and ball carrier. Depending on the defense the C will also use one of the same blocks. The SG will pull straight down the LOS turning up field and blocking the first defender in sight, probably an OLB or CB. He needs to break down, keep his balance and run through the defender. The WG will probably never make it the perimeter considering that the 2/4-back already has a head start and is getting the ball full speed. The best thing to do with the WG is have them pull flat and then turn up field in the first open window they see. They should be meeting a LB who is taking that open window underneath to make a play. The WT will take an inside release and go down field to make a block on a LB or S. They need to make sure no one crosses their face as they leave the LOS.
2/4-Backs
One of the biggest coaching points is to make sure that your 2/4-back is getting the ball at full speed in their motion that is the purpose of putting them in motion. They then must learn to read the block of the SG and turn up field. One of the biggest problems you may have is teaching the runners to find the running alley. This will come with practice. Coach them not to string the play out by running to the sidelines. They need to find the alley and get what they can get. Also make sure they cut off of the strong block (down block) of the 2/4-Back and do not run up the trappers’ rear end. The 2/4-Back that is blocking will line up tight to the TE and execute a down block, stepping flat, head in front, and not allowing penetration.
Quarterback
The QB will fake the 31-32 Trap hand-off and then hand the ball to the motion man (2/4-Back). Then he will roll to the SE side and fake the waggle pass. He must make sure he sells his fakes, keeps the ball seeded on his 31-32 fake and then roll out hard in order to keep backside defenders at home. If the defense is not paying attention to him then he should tell you the waggle is wide open.
3-Back
The fullback can line up on either side depending on what look you as a coach want to give the defense. He then will rub tight off of the QB to fake the 31-32 hand-off and fill for the WG. He is to block the first defender he comes to.
Split End
The SE will go down field and try to block a safety in the hopes that the ball carrier breaks a long run.
