End Around

The End Around tag identifies 22 misdirection plays where a wide receiver or tight end takes a handoff running against the flow of the formation, spread across 4 formations (Singleback, Shotgun, Strong I, I Form) and 9 sets such as Close, Wing, Bunch Ace, Bunch Base, and Z Close. It groups straight End Around calls with variants like End Around Lead, which adds a lead blocker to seal the edge, and HB Slash Fk End Arnd, which fakes the end around to hold backside contain defenders while the back hits the slash lane. Filter by this tag to build a counter package that punishes user-controlled defenders crashing the play side, overaggressive nano blitz looks, and defenses that abandon backside contain to chase your base run game.
