About this video
Zone or trap? In a spread offense that question gets answered by the defensive front, not by a coach's preference, and David Wilkerson has a clear set of rules for it. The Northeast Mississippi Community College offensive coordinator walks through his zone and trap principles and the looks that trigger each one, so by the end of the video you know which call the defense is handing you. The teaching is tied to two of the fronts spread teams see most: the 4-2 box and the 3-Stack.
