Chalk Talk: Power Sweep

In this series of 3 videos, the great Vince Lombardi breaksdown the Power Sweep and its complementary plays.  Good stuff if you’re looking to run outside:

 

 

Video: Inside-Out Pursuit

This is an excellent video on how defenders — not just Linebackers — should pursue a running back from the inside-out and use the sideline as help. 

Video: Boys of Fall – “Coaches”

Five minute video on stance, backpedal and replacement steps.   Homegrown video but good stuff.
