Breakdown

0 1 Trap is a gap scheme run play out of Singleback Tight Y Off Flex with 11 personnel that pulls the backside guard to trap the first defender inside the tackle box. The diagram shows the offensive line blocking down at the point of attack while the HB takes a slight delay handoff and presses the mesh point before cutting off the trap block. This is a run play designed to punish aggressive defensive tackles and interior penetration, with the primary read progression being the trap block first, then bounce path outside if the alley is sealed.

Defensive Reads

Watch for 3 technique and 1 technique defensive tackles crashing hard upfield, this play is designed to trap that exact penetration. If the defense shows a stacked box with a Mike linebacker sitting square and reading the guard's pull, the trap lane will be clogged and this run gets shut down. Keying the backside linebacker is critical, a disciplined backer who stays home instead of flowing with the initial line movement can blow up the trap before it develops. Look for user-controlled defensive tackles who slant hard to one gap, that lateral movement is exactly what opens the trap crease for the HB. Against odd fronts (46, 3-4 with a true nose), the trap angle changes, so confirm the nose tackle's alignment before committing to this call.

Usage Tips

Use this play when the defensive tackles are shooting gaps or crashing hard on inside zone tendencies since the trap block turns their aggression against them.

Check the defensive line alignment pre-snap for a 3 technique or 1 technique that is playing upfield rather than reading the mesh, that is your green light to run 0 1 Trap.

Hot route the TE to stay in on an extra block if you see a Mike linebacker showing blitz on the trap side, this keeps the second level clean for your puller.

Pair this with HB Dive and Inside Zone Split earlier in a drive to sell the same backfield action, then hit 0 1 Trap once the defense starts flowing hard to the zone side.

Best used on early downs (first and ten, second and short) when defenses are more likely to sit in base fronts and bite on interior run fits.
