Oklahoma Offense: Protecting the GT Counter

Hey Coach, did you see the swing variation of this get blown up allot when the ball was handed off? Seems like if the DE is crashing, but you got a Give Key from the LB, wouldn't that be setting your running back up for disaster?

I run a swing screen read opposite of the counter screen that is set up by a ghost/orbit motion from the opposite side. The swing would be a pre-snap read for the QB where he will throw the swing if the defense doesn't bump/push/rotate to the swing. Post snap he is simply going to read the end and we assume that the motion will hold the backers for half a step and give us better angles when pulling. This seems like a similar situation where the QB is reading pre-snap adjustments by the defense into a post-snap counter-read.
