25 TRAP
The 25 Lead Run takes advantage of the Tight End. The TE and the Offensive Tackle double team the Defensive Tackle containing the tackle inside the running lane. The play gets its name due to the FB leading through the hole.
If the off side Guard traps back to the play (shown here) he blocks the DE. If the G does not pull, the FB "kicks out" the DE. If a double team is not necessary the TE can hit then release from the DE (scrape) and block down on the LB or any other would be tackler in pursuit.
Another option is to send a wide out to the play side in motion to the play and block down on the DE. Then the Guard (or FB) call lead around the end--as in the 27 Sweep.
In the Sweep, the off side Tackle blocks for one count, the releases to down field block. The QB opens to the off side to delay pursuit. This play can be run from any 2-back formation with at least one TE.
Keys: The off side Offensive Tackle's first responsibility is to block down any defender capable of "shooting the gap" and pursuing the pulling Guard. If the G is not pulling or no defender is in such position, the OT blocks for one count then releases to down field block.
