Ace Flex Cross 33 Counter Trap
Against an aggressive bltizing 4-3 with man on the outside. Motion the slot across the formation to clear out the nickel back, block everybody down, bring the TE across the formation to block the DE. The DE will have to maintain outside contain otherwise the TE can log him and RB can bounce out to the 5 gap and take the seam. TE kicks out DE opening the seam, Ace back takes the counter trap and gets north and south. We're running to the green zone.If safety wants to cheat up: 1) I'll take the 1-on-1 matchup in the open field between my best RB and a safety because I think we win that battle more often than not. 2) Play-action to suck the safety up and bet that my slot can beat the nickel back on the deep post behind him.
