Gun Counter 1 & 2 Backs
If backside defensive end gets in the pulling tackle’s back pocket then quarterback will pull the ball and replace the end by keeping the ball and running with it.

Vs the counter play the quarterback will read the reaction of the backside EMLOS as he reacts to the pulling tackle.
