It seems that many of the backside read/mesh plays are zone blocked. From man on man schemes, I've seen some plays keep the mesh read and pull the backside guard (and tackle if no stunt) and essentially trap the emol or the tackle.

Can the mesh be successfully run with man blocking as a base play?

As a team that is moving from a multiple I set, off tackle power team, I'm not confident that we currently have the knowledge to teach zone blocking successfully.

I'd look into his stuff if that's the style you're looking for.

If you were going have a base mesh read with man blocking, would it be the guard trap? We primarily play against the 4-4 and the trap gets us numbers to the te flanker side.

We have looked at Zone, Tackle Pull, and Guard pull on the backside read play - I like the Tackle pull vs a 4-4 and Iso block on the front side. We also run trap with the guard. We also were an off tackle - option team and found a way to run or off tackle scheme out of the gun - we aligned our slots tight and had the backside guard pull and Kick the EMOL with the backside slot wrapping through for the playside LB. We also ran trips and ran the blast weak , QB reads the backside DE, and the playside slot is the pitch man if you want the option scheme. We are looking for a better run game inside - inside veer and G dive out of Nevada' pistol formation.
