@@americanfootballacademy1741 you’re welcome! If you ever get around to it, I’d love to understand the drop back pass blocking systems as well. I assume there are some differences dropping back.
@@Spinks345 meaning the different pass protections that can be used in the drop back passing game? or just the passing game in general (quick game, drop backs, shot plays)?
I wish all the parents in the crowd at high school games would watch this so they could understand how complicated football is and stop talking shit about hs coaches and the parents would realize they know nothing about football
That's the nature of leadership. It doesn't matter if you are a High School coach or regional manager of a chain restaurant. If you lose, all fingers point at you.
I mean I'm a High School DC and I don't run inside zone. I think its good but not great. Only way id run IZ is if i had gap scheme compliments.I like wide zone but not IZ. It's to easy to stop if people understand runfits. If I was a parent and invested in my child's future I wouldn't be happy if my kids team was getting stuffed either. Part of Coaching is bring able to silence the critics with performance and handling it when it comes your way. Everyone loves a winner regardless of method.
Good video. HS o-line coach here - we teach Covered/Uncovered in our zone game. I really like your definition of ‘covered’, mine has probably been too heavily weighted to the backside defenders and too often we get guys not working playside, and being too heavy on their backside look. I always say, defenses are gap sound, if there is nobody in your gap as the snap, somebody will show up.
Yeah, my rules for this have adapted many times in the past haha and will likely change again moving forward as I find better ways to teach it. Had the same problem with the "not looking playside" before. Not many things more frustrating than a 1st level defender being completely unblocked 😅😂
.... Me too, for sure! 😂 I draw the diagrams to give a different method of learning. BUT I'm still looking for a more 'entertaining' way of doing the diagram aspect though, so we'll see how this channel progresses 🤓
I remember watching Bijan Robinson running in this scheme. He is the best Rb I've seen at seeing daylight, being patient, then accelerating to the opening.
Good Day, are you available to do a podcast to talk more about the inside/outside zone concepts for the Dolphins? I am apart of a group called Inside Leverage that works with 5 reason sports.
Does look a bit wider. I still wouldn't classify this as an OUTSIDE zone as the aiming point is far to inside for that. Maybe wide zone. General idea remains though. Zone is Zone. Just about aiming points and leverage, but hopefully viewers still get the right idea from it.
That's just the name of the technique they are playing... They are all defensive linemen. Then you have DTs and DEs. And those DTs and DEs line up in different places... Some directly in front of the center (0 technique, or 0 tech for short), some line up inside shade of the guards (2i tech), or outside shade of the guard (3 tech). On my channel I have a video about defensive structure that's likely better than this brief explanation 😅 hopefully the helps
PST & PSG work the DE to the Sam C & BSG work the N to the Mike BST steps playside and works up to the Will. If DE crashes, take him man. If you have a FB/TE, they take C gap. Either the Jack or Will on the backside will be unblocked. If you lock up the BST on the DE and insert the FB/TE, he takes Will and jack is unblocked.
@@justinwalker-sq9fn I always look at the first steps and leverage the OL are taking, as well as the initial aiming point of the RB, before any cuts are made. With that in mind, when rewatching it, I'd still consider it IZ. I do always tell my RBs that inside zone never bounces outside (play side), but I think at the NFL level, if that guy sees daylight, he takes it! And I for sure won't correct him 😅 I've heard the term 'wide zone' but that's still relatively new to me. Most of what I've seen describes wide zone as what I'd call outside zone. Let me know what you think! and another important note...I could very well be wrong about this being IZ 😂🤷♂that's always a possibility.
I do want to add that I think this is a great video a good resource for Inside Zone. I would still contend that the clip involving the Packers and Rams is what we would call Wide Zone and others might call outside zone. We consider outside zone and stretch to be different names for the same play. Wide Zone presses the EMOL and the aiming point is the TE. The goal of WZ is to get horizontal movement to flatten the defense and cut it in half for the RB to cut. He reads the EMOL back to the next DL inside to make a vertical cut. If nothing knocks him off of his path he stays on course. The RB should not bounce outside to the force player.
@@americanfootballacademy1741Hey thanks for replying man. Didn't mean to be a pain, it just gets distracting especially after you watch several of these in a row.
