Inside zone vs. a 3tech and 7tech.

Frankly I'd do one of three things:

1. If they give you a regular dose of 3 and 7, I'd go without a TE.

2. I'd check the inside zone to the other side, especially to a 1 and a 5.

3. I'd check to the stretch to the 7 tec h.

you really don't have a bubble trying to run inside zone to a 3 and a 7.

Thanks for the replies

Northstang,

I agree the plays you mentioned are better and inside zone is best run when you can get linebackers out of the box. I still think you can run inside zone vs. this front to the strong side becauseof cutback possibilities. I like to run the outside zone and get the Defense fast flowing then come back with the inside zone.

northstang correct if you take the tight end out this play turns into a stretch play. Without the tight end you get the cutback for sure. Coach Campbell

Removing the TE may remove a LB from the box, but it will eliminate the 7 tech. Now your PST can base the 5 and you don't have to worry about the TE digging him out of the hole.
