Jet Trap

Jet motion holds the defense while the fullback hits the interior trap up the middle.

Concept: The jet fake pulls linebackers to the edge as the backside guard traps the first inside defender.

How to teach it

  • 1The jet fake pulls linebackers to the edge so the trap hits inside.
  • 2Backside guard traps the first inside defender past the down block.
  • 3Fullback hits the interior downhill off the trap while the jet fake holds the edge.

Common mistakes to fix

  • !Jet fake is weak and linebackers don't chase — fix by drilling a full-speed motion fake.
  • !Trap guard traps the wrong man — fix by counting the first man past the down block.
