Attacking the Perimeter with the Pin and Pull Sweep

Keith Grabowski, offensive coordinator at Baldwin Wallace, shows how the pin and pull sweep gets the ball to the perimeter with blocking rules simple enough to install in any offense. This coaching video covers the complete Baldwin Wallace sweep series package: detailed blocking responsibilities for every lineman and receiver, actual plays from Coach Grabowski's offensive arsenal, and extensive game film that illustrates each teaching point.
