Alignments to stop Trap in a 52 and 62

We no longer run the 5-2, but this version of the 5-3 Double Eagle is VERY HARD to run the inside trap on:

O---------------------Q

-----------------B----M--------B
--C--------------------------------------------C
------------------------S


ENDS: 2 point stance. Inside foot on inside of TE's outside foot and read him. Work vs. down block, turn-out block, reach block, and kick-out (or trap). Vs down block — close down (will both squeeze kick-out or trap, and/or wrong shoulder it - varies game to game). Vs turn-out block - bench press him down. Vs reach block — smash him in the mouth and work outside. NOTE: On SE side — align on the OT.

TACKLES: Outside shoulder (or eye) of OG and read him. Work vs reach block, turn-out, down block, and pull. Create new LOS 1 yard deep in backfield. Vs reach block — smash him in the mouth and fight across his face. Vs. turn-out block — smash him and squeeze him down. Vs. down block — you close down. Vs pull — get in his hip pocket.

NOSE: Head up on Center. Smash into Center and go THRU Center's block (cross his face — your head to side his hat goes).

MLB: 4 yards deep directly behind the Nose. Read the "triangle" of the OG's and the QB.

OLB: 3 yards deep. Line up on inside (leg) of TE. On SE side align on slot (3 yds deep). S/S type athlete. Take 2 steps in direction near back goes and look back for counter/trap/etc.

SECONDARY: Cover 3, OR, Cover 1.
