Breakdown

Dbl Mtn Duo Wrap is a Duo run concept out of Pistol Bunch with 11 personnel, sending both bunch receivers on vertical mountain releases to clear out the second level while the offensive line executes double team blocks at the point of attack before wrapping a puller through the hole. The HB takes the handoff and reads the double teams up front, pressing the line of scrimmage to set up a single cutback lane off the wrap block. This is a power run play, not a play-action or RPO, and the primary read progression starts with the double team combo blocks at the line before working to the wrap blocker leading through the hole.

Defensive Reads

Look for linebacker depth at the snap, if the mike and will are sitting shallow expecting run they will crash the double team gap and limit the wrap blocker's ability to seal the edge. Identify whether the defense is in a one high or two high shell, single high safeties tend to bite on the Duo action harder which opens the cutback lane against the flow of the double team. Watch for run blitzes or gap exchange stunts from the defensive line, a slanting front can beat the double team assignment before the wrap blocker arrives. Key the safety rotation off the mountain releases, if a safety widens to respect the vertical release from the bunch it usually means one fewer defender in the box to deal with the duo blocks. This play struggles against heavy fronts with an extra defender stacked in the box and disciplined linebackers who read double teams and stay patient instead of flowing immediately to the play side.

Usage Tips

Use this in short yardage and second or third and short situations where Duo's downhill blocking scheme thrives against stacked fronts.

Check the box count pre-snap, if the defense has six or more in the box the double teams may get overwhelmed so consider bailing to a quick pass instead.

Motion the bunch receiver across to check for man coverage rotation, if a defender follows across the formation you know you are facing man principles and the wrap block should have a cleaner lane versus base fronts.

Pair this play with Dbl Mtn PA Stretch and Dbl Mtn HB Stretch from the same set so the defense has to respect both the downhill duo action and the outside stretch look off identical bunch alignment and motion.

Run this on early downs to keep the defense honest against your Mtn RPO Read Y Slide and Mtn Wide Zone calls, forcing linebackers to stay square instead of flowing hard to the perimeter.
