Tiger one and Zone coaches ???

Karjaw,

Just like anything else, the RB instead of reading a specific block of his own linemen, he is reading the DLM and looking for a crease to cut back only after crossing the LOS. Instead of looking for a single hole to run through, he is looking for a lane(crease) that is created by the movement of the defense in which to cut back. Don't make more out of it than it really is. It will be a new concept for him until he gets some reps but I have found they really like it better in most instances. Get some film and have him see for himself the tecnique and he will master it rather quickly.

Bill, trying to remember if I ever saw a defense try to stop riggins by playing solid from guard to guard and walking the LB's up as mugs. Would force them to man block and if they stacked the backers over the B gaps, that would be pretty hairy for any offfense to deal with, imo.
Maybe I hit on something here to stop the ISZ, or am I just pulling up something from the past that I have seen someone else do? I remember the 'skins getting their jocks handed to them one time in a big game by a unique defensive scheme when they took the B gap away from John, but can't recall any of the particulars. Does this ring a bell with you?

The "Mug" LBers out of the "3-4" should REALLY open things up on the COUNTER-GAP, and the STRETCH - but that just wasn't Washington's day!!!!!
