I would get Mercurial Scimitar instead of BT if the enemy has a decent amount of hard CC <| sep |> There is no universal goto answer . The thing that shuts this play down the most though seems to be a playside DE who recognizes the play and rather than running upfield , squats and squeezed down the inside , basically cutting underneath the pass block of the playside tackle . The offensive solution though is to have the tackle wash him inside , and the pulling tackle will just go around the end like a sweep . That fill block for the pulling tackle can be hard sometimes as well , and I ' ve seen fullbacks or backside linemen fail to fill if that backside DE is quick enough . Another one is a good playside 3 tech DT who can outman the playside guard and push him into the backfield . With cutback plays like this , any penetration between the tackles hurts , because the back needs the space to cut back across the formation .
