Compatible Schemes

This archetype is used in the following schemes:

Multiple Power Run

The Multiple Power Run uses traditional pulling linemen and lead blockers in the run game to grind through defenses. A quality Field General QB helps convert critical 3rd and short situations

Vertical Power Run

The Vertical Power Run focuses on tempting the defense to load the box with extra defenders via a commitment to the power run game, then punishes them downfield with play action and shot passes.

West Coast Power Run

The West Coast Power Run creates weakness in the defense by stretching it out horizontally with short passing. The half backs then attack those weaknesses for big gains.

Other Left Guard Archetypes

Pass Protector

Specialize in keeping the quarterback upright. Can handle any move a pass rusher throws at them but have trouble run blocking.

Agile

Uses good footwork to excel in zone blocking run plays and to handle quick finesse moves.
