zone from the gun

Stick - If the option gun game is new for you you want to stay with your zone schemes because you don't want to teach different styles from under center vs the gun set. I teach the inside zone from gun, Stretch , counter, and Tackle Trap and a shovel pass which I call crazy option. All my run plays are read backside by the Qb. Coach CAmpbell

how does the landmark for the RB change inside zone/ stretch?

We began working our regular offense into the gun. We didn't run anything new from the gun we didn't run from under center. We run the inside zone, outside zone or stretch, veer, load, counter, trap, power, and iso. The only play we run from under center that we don't run from the gun is midline.

Interesting topic!
Never seen any team run midline from the gun. I don't know if it is possible for the fact the depth of the QB in gun does not allow him to get in B gap quick enough.

We tried midline, but we didn't have success. We decided to run QB trap from the gun, where he reads the 5 tech for his give, keep read, and we trap the 3 tech. We block inside veer the same way we block inside veer from under center. QB reads 5 tech. PST has first backer inside. Ace combo on 1 tech. If we are in a two back gun, backside back becomes pitch read. We also run inside zone read option, where we use our inside zone blocking. We have more succes getting up on linebackers with our inside zone blocking from the gun. We went to a count system this season for our inside and outside zones, and had great success.

We had 5 sophomore lineman this year starting for us, and they were undersized. We also didn't do a very good job of coaching our vertical combos, and it seemed like we weren't picking up the backers. For example, if we had an ACE Ram on a 1 tech to the WIll backer, we would get movement on the one, but we would have a backer run through. We decided to adjust to more of a true man/zone scheme. Our count system is simple for our IS OS zones. We took a bunch of stuff from a bunch of guys we heard at clinics, and came up with this. We stayed with Coach Campbell's inside vertical push concept, but made adjustments to the assignments of our lineman.

The center establishes who 0 is. 0 is anyone on or over him to the playside. A backside one tech would not be a 0. Once the center establishes 0, it is pretty easy to figure out who 1, 2, and 3 are. TE rule- Playside gap to #3, Tackles, Playside Gap (PSG) to #2, Guards, PSG #1, Center, PSG to 0. It is simple to teach, simple to learn, and could account for every front we faced. We used the same count system out of the gun and under center. Uncovered lineman make their line calls, which we didn't change. There are a lot of nuances to this, but it would take pages to go over them. Landmarks change for the inside and outside zone, and the numbering system for stacked LB's, and game plan adjustments.
