Inside Zone question for oneback

GCTIGERS 57:

#1 Align off the ball as far as possible (we put our helmets on the Center's belt).

#2 Splits = 18"

#3 The Center DOES step at a Nose shaded AWAY from call on the INSIDE ZONE, but NOT on the Outside Zone! This is about the only time he blocks a different ASSIGNMENT. The techniques, of course, are different on the two ZONE plays!

#4 If the Nose is shaded TO the call (ASSUMING the ON G is uncovered) - there are TWO ways to do it on the Inside Zone. A) You CAN have the ON G give him a good shot & then work up on the LBer (then the ON G has to block MAN), OR, B) you can have the Center take the shaded Nose alone, & the ON G can zone with the ON T - in this case the Center can just try push the shade beyond the B gap & the play can wind back behind him. NOTE: If it is the Outside Zone - the Center doesn't need help from the ON G!

This is all too deep to do a satisfactory job of explaining without the use of diagrams. Contact me at billmountjoy@yahoo.com & I can get into more detail. If you PREFER - PHONE me at 804-740-4479 (up to 10:00 PM/EDT).
