True once the play develops and the runner gets in front of him. As unlikely as it is to hand off to a lineman, it's even more unlikely to do it under this circumstance. You are most likely to involve a big guy in a running play in short yardage situation. If the runner is able to get ahead of the lineman he's likely to already have achieved the yardage they wanted to achieve.
