The call
| Position | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Halfback | run the buck sweep path. He is the whole deception. |
| Quarterback | reverse pivot, fake the sweep, then boot away from the flow. |
| Fullback | fake the trap, then release to the flat in front of the boot as the checkdown. |
| Tight end | release and work across underneath, sitting down and turning back to the quarterback. |
| Split end | clear the boot side deep. |
| Backside guard | pull to the boot side and seal the edge defender. |
| Playside guard | pull to the boot side and take the first linebacker to show. Every down lineman is already accounted for, so he is the one who picks up the second-level chase. |
| Left tackle | pass block the tackle (T). |
| Center | pass block the nose (N). |
| Right tackle | pass block the tackle (T). |
| Wingback | block the end (E) on the backside edge. |
Run it with
- Buck sweepThe waggle is the sweep, kept. It only works after the sweep has made the defense commit.
- TrapThe trap pulls the linebackers forward, which is what empties the space the boot throws into.
