That is how it worked for us.
If Left guard heard a power trap to the right side, he would know to pull right and he was to clear that gap, with primary responsibility assumed to be to take the 2nd level guy, usually a LB out. Usual blocking schemes for us were based on if the DT and DE were lined up heads up on someone, or in your gap. We just studied the plays, learned your responsibilities and then we had some very simple calls to deal with adjustments.
It was pretty simple, line up and run the called play stuff.
I should clarify that I'm not an expert, wasn't a great football player....Just what I remember.
