Trap Option vs. Freeze Option

The difference in the two plays which are similar is that on freeze option the Tailback doesn't move until the QB takes his second step. On freeze option you have the backside puller and QB headed out in the same direction. Two types of trap option, this is how I tell the difference in the two plays. With trap option you have the QB and tailback going opposite the pulling guard and fullback. You have the trap in one direction with the QB having the option to pull the ball and take himself in the opposite direction with either keep or pitch as his options. Coach CAmpbell

Coach Golla congrats. on a great season, I'm looking forward to visiting with you and hope we can clinic this summer. I run midline only due to the fact I don't want to teach the pull on freeze and the hesitation by the Tailback. Looking forward to hearing from you. Coach CAmpbell
