27 SWEEP
The 27 Sweep is a power sweep play similar to the 27 Lead.
In the example shown here the 27 Sweep is run with the WR in motion cracking down on the containment man. The FB then blocks the DB trailing the WR, or the first man that shows. The TE blocks for one count then 'scrapes' up field to cut off defensive pursuit. All Linemen left (off side) of the Center do likewise.
Another variation would involve splitting the back field in a Veer formation (FB to the TE side), or TB to the TE side and handing the ball to the FB as in the 37 Sweep. The off side WR can be replaced by an additional FB (3 backs) and run with both FB's leading through the hole as in a 27 Blast.
