0 1 Trap

Pre-snap, identify the defensive tackle alignment inside the guards, a shaded 3 technique or 1 technique that likes to fire upfield is the ideal trigger for this concept to hit big. Check linebacker depth, if the Mike and Will are stacked tight and reading run keys fast, they can flow and fill the alley before the trap seal develops. Post-snap, watch for a user controlled defensive lineman holding the point of attack instead of crashing, since that stalls the pulling lineman and blows up the design. Look for safety rotation down into the box pre-snap, an extra hat in the run fit from depth can outnumber the blockers and close the cutback lane. This run struggles against a 46 heavy front or any look with both DTs staying square and reading rather than attacking gaps.
