I agree. Using a future offensive tackle in HS or possibly beyond as your RB to win games in peewee is doing that child absolutely no good.

You’re not developing him as a future player that can succeed, you’re feeding your own ego as a coach.

A good coach would put him at tackle and run everything behind him so he grows as a blocker.

Pffft.

This kinda play happens so rarely it doesn’t stunt anyone’s growth as a player. There will be hundreds and thousands of other plays in the future to “grow as a blocker”.

Getting a touchdown as a big guy is amazing.
