22 Trap Option Play
Sep 12, 2022The QB opens up to the opposite side and has the option of handing it off to the RB (no 2) who runs it into the 2 gap (hence the name 22), the Dive.
Or, he could keep it and go wider and run it himself or flip it to the WR coming in from the other side. The WR can start in motion to get a bit of a head start. This gives you at least three different options.
This is a very versatile play that you can learn once, and use often. Once it's installed, you can always call upon the 22 Trap Option and be assured that you will gain yards.
If the players are younger, you can just run these in order and not run it as a read option.
