This session introduces the tackle trap as a versatile gap-scheme play that provides consistent positive yardage and serves as a “poor man’s inside zone.” Coach Murphy explains how the tackle trap fits seamlessly into the shotgun Wing-T, why it’s effective against blitzes, and how it can be run from spread or under-center formations. With strong play-action potential and simplicity for players to learn, the tackle trap is presented as a reliable, high-percentage option to quickly improve offensive production.
