Breakdown

0 1 Trap is a gap scheme run play out of Shotgun Wing Slot Offset with 12 personnel on the field. The play art shows the offensive line pulling a blocker across the formation to trap the first defender inside the tackle box while the HB takes a quick track path through the designed trap hole, with both wide receivers to the boundary running vertical stems to hold the corners deep and clear out any lurking safeties. This is a base power run play, not a man or zone beater in the passing sense, so the primary read is the RB reading the trap block on the interior defender and pressing the hole before bouncing outside if the point of attack gets clogged.

Defensive Reads

Watch for a downhill blitzing linebacker filling the trap gap before the puller arrives, that is the number one killer of this run Check safety depth pre snap, if both safeties are sitting shallow at 8 to 10 yards the box is loaded and this run will not have room to develop Identify odd fronts with a nose shaded to the play side A gap, that alignment can beat the trap block by shooting the gap before the pulling lineman gets there Man coverage on the perimeter with no extra run support usually means a light box, which is the ideal shell to attack with this trap concept User controlled defenders sitting in the hole reading the mesh point are the biggest threat, if you see the user linebacker freeze and step up pre snap consider checking to a different run or a quick RPO instead

Usage Tips

Use this on early downs like first and ten or second and short when the defense is showing a light box with six or fewer defenders inside the tackles

Check the Mike linebacker depth pre snap, if he is sitting on the line expecting run you can audible into RPO Zone Alert Hitches or RPO Zone Alert Bubble off the same look to punish crashing linebackers

Pull the trap blocker manually if you are user controlling the guard so you can seal the exact defender flowing hardest toward the play side gap

Pair 0 1 Trap with Inside Zone Split and Dbl Mtn Counter Y in the same drive to keep the front guessing between gap and zone concepts out of an identical formation

Avoid calling this into stacked fronts with extra defenders in the A and B gaps since the trap puller can get beat to the spot by quick penetrating three technique tackles
