In the example above Utah runs the play to the left at the 3 technique and 5 technique player side of the line. The center and left guard double team the 3 technique player and then one works his way up to the LB level. The 5 technique DE to the right is left unblocked and he is the key read for the QB. If the DE crashes in toward the running back the QB is to pull the ball and take it outside. If the DE advances toward the QB then the read is to give the football to the running back. Mullen indicates that the path of the running back is the outside leg of the guard but the play can hit in several different places depending upon how the blocks go (see above diagram). The back is supposed to make one read and hit the hole hard either front side or jump cut back side
For you scoring at home- how does the QB "pull it" if he doesnt stick it in the gut of the RB and ride him as he reads the DE?
