inside zone vs double eagle

If you stick with pure zone rules, it is as follows: IZ RIGHT:

--B-----------B

V--V--V--V----V
-O-O-C-O-O-Y

LT = Uncovered (loose 5 outs. him) so zone with Off G from 3 tech to BS/LB
LG = Covered & LT uncovered so zone with LT from 3 to BS/LB
CTR = Covered & off G covered so MAN Nose
RG = Covered & Center covered so MAN 3 (NOTE: "TAG" CALL BEST WAY TO GO - FOLD ON PS/LB)
RT = Uncovered & TE covered so zone with him from PS/LB to DE (NOTE: "TAG" call block down on 3 tech)
TE = Covered & RT uncovered so zone with him from DE to PS/LB (NOTE: "Tag" call you are MAN on De)

That's TWO ways to do it (regular & "Tag"), and a third way is below:

NOTE: IF NOSE is "flexed" ( 1 yd or more deep & playing soft) like Buddy Ryan did in his BEARS 46 - Center is considered "UNCOVERED" & zones with ON G from MLB to 3 tech. This was VERY effective.

Now - one f those ways will hold up (if you are EQUAL in talent), but all that having been said - we prefer the Redskins Counter and the Outside Zone vs the "Solid" look (CTR & BOTH G'S COVERED)

I like the idea to fold block i will do that and run speed option to the fullback since i don't have the extra blocker with the tighend we can just option him thanks alot .

if you are in doubles with no te

dont run the inside zone, just lock up and run stretch, or toss

they want to get packed in there like that make them pay

run some jets
run them out of gun

they will get out of it

well, bill, i was talking about a 5 down surface with 2 more linebackers, what we call double eagle
if they are all stacked up in there, just get outside of all that mess

if they are 5 only in there, run qb iso, or iz like bill says

5 on 5

I worked a suumer Camp with Red Faught back in 1985.

If you are "R&S" - don'rt change!!!!!

As far as finding a TE? Take the biggest, meanest O-Lineman you have & put an "80" number on him. Tell him he's not going to be a receiver, but he's going to "put the cork in the bottle" on the Counter; Power; & Outside Zone! Finding a TE is EASY if you do this,

You can STILL run the IZ (with principles & rules I mentioned abve) from the "R&S" IF you have favorable NUMBERS (5) in the box. If they put 6 in the box - throw more, & if you run the IZ - control the EMLOS away from the POA with QB naked fake, WR reverses off IZ fake, etc.

I agree. tough to run inside zone w/out tight end. In fact, we won't run it without 2 tight-ends or a te and a fullback, or motioning an h back into the play. i know it can be done, but we don't do it.
