The entire presentation includes not play action, but also their base stretch out of several alignments, Quarterback stretch sweep, and pin & pull sweep.

Why run stretch?

  • Great versus moving and stunting.  Just stay on tracks.
  • Forces Inside Linebackers to flow east and west and exposes them to cut backs.
  • Allows ball carrier to easily read blocks.
  • Makes it hard for the defense to fit and be right.
