out of doubles gun

any of you guys run a tackle trap on a playside 1 tech? and read the squeezing de with the qb like you would on counter or zone reads?

seems like an interesting way to mess with a player that is not used to getting trapped from that angle

and would provide a good changeup for ol schemes within the doubles spread running game genre, zone/counter/lead/draw/regular trap

just another way to mess with some dl

I like that idea. Where is your mesh point? If you mesh behind the center, do you find that your RB's path becomes a bit awkward because he's taking the handoff so close (not in depth, but in width) to the trapped 1 tech such that he has to plant and get very vertical to hit the hole rather than rolling right into it like on an inside zone play? Thanks.

well, we have not run this yet, and i have not had a chance to walk through a mesh point with anyone yet (i am in process of moving)

as for the aiming point, i dont even think it would have to be right off of the trap like a regular trap, it would be more "backside" towards the backside a gap, (backside, because that is where the puller is coming from, and the trap would be on the "playside")

you could run it from doubles gun with the rb on either side and still have the qb read it

Coach tog,

This may or may not be news to you (I'm new to the single back game, so it's very interesting to me), but some teams in our area run what they call "tackle trap" to the 1 tech. However, it's not really a trap, but more of a lead play (PSG blocks 1 tech in, PST blocks 5 tech out, BST pulls through PS B-gap and leads up on the PSILB). It accomplishes the same basic idea as the inside zone to a 1 tech, but like you said, it's a different look for the D. The QB reads the BSDE as you described, and the pull of the BST is even more likely to influence the BSDE to squeeze down the line than an inside zone block, making the QB keep even more effective. Just an idea.
