COACHES WHO HAVE HAD success running the halfback lead series know that it doesn't take long for the defense to begin overplaying the weak or strong set formation (Diags. 1-2). The defense will key the halfback and start to shift and slant to his side, or else assign a "spy" to him to gain a numerical advantage at the POA.
[Diagrams 1-2 ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
When defenses start to shift and slant to stop the lead play, we will exploit them with a Cross Trap by routing our lead halfback away from the backfield strength and the defensive shift or slant.
As shown in Diag. 3, the play begins as the lead series play, with the fullback aiming for our tackle's inside hip (away from the POA) to fill for the guard who's pulling to trap block.
