School me.

K-Lo, you said there are other ways to do the play, well, what are the other ways?????

Jimbos my man put up a nice video but the fact is that if that safety doesnt loop out of the way, he is in the hole EASILY for a no gain. The blockers did nothing special.

School me if i am wrong.

School me on what i dont know.

I am curious, as so we all.

I almost never get a "nice" hole opened up when I have intent...when I do, it's all luck as it really wasn't planned...something I struggle with, but have seen it done by others w/consistency...

With any touch, it seems I always get the side "side swipe" touch when I do get a seam...

Match-ups and the "D" line make a big difference.

It's a learning experience I presume...practice, practice, practice...I need to get on a board with someone who is good at traps, etc...should have hooked up at Miggle with K-Lo...blew my chance again to work w/him on speed tweaking and strategy...

I will say, a faster board and the line seems to it's job better...one observation of mine.

Always open for suggestions as I am a student of the game

I agree. The offense setup is really nice, but the defense should have been prepared for the RB rush inside. I know, easy to say once the play is played, but...

I need to get some of my footage online...

I don't remember the play in the video, I have to sign on at home to revisit.

Now as for running traps and/or creating holes for you RB to get thru ...

well, I have talked about this before and could not find the post...so here is a new twist.....

let me break it down to the lowest concept... the players themselves

I look at little things like "helmet to helmet" matchups to find out if and how a block will happen.

Example: if you line up two players and let say player A is the blocker and player B is the defender... if 'B' lines up on the left side of 'A' helmet and 'A' is blocking to his left (towards the side that 'B' is on) will create a hole on right side of 'A'...conversely, If 'A' was blocking towards the right (away from 'B') then 'B' would win at filling his spot becasue 'A' is blocking away from him so to speak...

okay keep this in mind as we continue....

while you practice, work 2 man; then 3, 4, than all 5 linemen where you trying to create the hole...

left side players block to left..right side block to the right...center picks his side...

if you move (flip flop) left and right you get the 'wedge' blocking...so that we are on the same page...

once you "see" how the holes will open, you can then focus on the RB so that he hits that hole when it's time to hit it.......how to hit it.......
so that he can get to the otherside.......

the rest of it is forcing the defense to lineup in a defense that you can use against them...
