4-3/4-4 vs Inside/Outside Zone Runs

That is a question ever coach in America is looking for the answers to. My suggestion is not so much to "TWEAK the X's & O's", BUT to teach good TECHNIQUE thru many reps AND recognition vs. them in practice. Cover 4 gives good secondary run force vs them!

Whatever you do must come from within the framework of YOUR basic defensive package. You cannot put in "special defenses" to stop stuff that you may only see 3 times a year. Adjust YOUR defense to it!

I 4got to add that they will run inside zone to your 1 Tech to allow a cut back through backside A....

Thanks fellas! This is the second year that I'll be at Scott (2007). I was at Toledo Woodward for 2 years before Scott.

That is the beauty of the Zone isn't it? You take what the defense throws at you and make it wrong! I like the Cover 4 idea...bring more than they can block. And as always, good fundamentals & just teaching your kids to play tough will keep you in it.
