Family: Gap run

What it is: A gap-scheme run with a down-blocking surface, a kick-out block on the edge, and a backside guard pulling through the hole.

When to use it: When the offense wants a physical identity play and has a guard who can pull cleanly.

Good against: Four-down fronts, light boxes, and defenses that play linebackers high or slow to trigger.

Bad against: Penetrating 3-techniques, run blitzes into the pull path, and fast scrape linebackers.

Pairs well with: Pairs with counter, play-action power, and QB power.
