How to Run a Reverse Play With a Pulling Guard

Hi, this is Sean Hobson, for Expert Village. What we want to talk about now is the proper blocking of our line when we're running the reverse. One of the best ways you can run the reverse is to pull the guard to the side that you're going to run the reverse to. Obviously, we want to start our play with our running back running the ball in this general direction (to the right) so the defense thinks we're running it off to the right side. But, what we're going to do is pull our guard, he's going to take a step and stay right at the line of scrimmage. Normally you would say if that guard pulls out you have a hole open on the right side of the field. But we're going to be faking to our fullback and our fullback is going to come in and fill in the spot that was left by the guard. Our guard's job now is to come outside and hit the first man in an opposite color jersey that he sees in the hole. He's going to be our lead blocker for our reverse play. The other guys will be blocking straight up the field. Tackle on tackle, guards will hit linebackers, the center will take the nose guard up and our receiver will crack down on our tight ends and we'll have our guard leading through the hole. That's the way for the line to block on the reverse.
