....so this week, why not disguise your D so cousins thinks you are giving him something here or there .. only to trap him to have a guy he didnt read pre-snap step into that space and pick it off/defend it.
.......i assume when you say "trap coverages", that means having DE guys suddenly dropping back in short zone, OLB suddenly defending the flats while the corner drops back to deep coverage, etc?

Yup.
Kyle's (and Raheem) know this scheme, personnel and staff intimately. Kyle not only knows historically WCO tendencies but knows Jay/McVay/Jordan Reed/Garcon tendencies. He can predict the likely play calls, targets and route combinations based on down, distance, formation and personnel much more accurately then any other team we'll face this year (except maybe Belichick).
He can say to Raheem ~'if you show a certain pre-snap look they'll expect an opening at spot X' and from that information the defense can gameplan to set a "trap".
Kirk is going to have to be on his game and not predetermine any throws. He's gotta quickly confirm post snap what he see/expects pre-snap.
This offense is designed to throw quickly and Kirk has a tendency to stick with his pre-snap read.
To reduce the opportunities for trap coverages I think (i know broken record) but we gotta keep running the ball, and hopefully run the ball well and stay out of known passing situations.
