Question for all the zone running and Colts running gurus:
in watching the coaches film from the Bears/Colts Super Bowl( was available for d/l from NFL Europe a while back)) I noticed an outside zone run on 2 & 3 from the left hash.
They were in their 'deuce' formation and Bears in an Over front and walked the OLD down to a 9 over the left TE.
They ran the outside zone to their right (uncovered RG pulled around the Y and blocked the the play side LB -Briggs). What confused me is that they did a 'false pull' of the left guard around the left TE (away from the play). This kept the backside 9 from pursuing but it DID not stop the backside (30 tech) ILB (Urlacher) and he was able to flow and make the stop to leave a 3 & 1.
Question: Does anybody know why they pull the LG (uncovered) around the LTE when the play goes to the right? It seems to me the LG/C should have combo'd the backside 1 to the backside ILB and this would have kept him from making the play (leaving the RB to only deal with the SS crashing down - Bears were in a 2 shell but rotated 3 Sky to the play side at the snap- either good scouring or good luck).
Thanks in advance!
