Pin and pull

OffenseTechniqueOLCGTTE

What it is

Covered linemen pin the defenders inside while uncovered linemen pull around them to the perimeter.

Why it matters

Pin and pull is a hybrid: gap-scheme pullers with zone-scheme rules for who pulls, decided by who is covered. It gets an outside run to the edge faster than outside zone because the pullers are not fighting a reach, and it is the standard answer to a front whose alignment makes reach blocks impossible.

Also called

Programs call this pin and pull, pin pull or sweep rules. The Coach answers to any of them.
