Overview

The Counter tag collects every gap scheme run that pulls a backside blocker (guard, tackle, tight end, or fullback) across the formation to kick out the edge and lead through the hole, showing one direction with the back's first step before attacking the other. It spans 204 plays across 9 formations and 159 sets, from Goal Line Offense and Strong I power looks to Shotgun, Pistol, and Wildcat variants like Counter Read Option that add a QB keep off the same pull action. Filtering by Counter lets you build a run scheme around misdirection and pullers instead of straight-ahead zone, and it pairs cleanly with play-action rollouts and RPOs that sell the same false step to freeze user-controlled linebackers.
