Stretch or Toss?

I'll try to explain this without a whiteboard... on the inside zone, Basically, we number the stack player as the higher number to the frontside. For example, vs the defense you drew above, the LB over the nose becomes 0, and the nose becomes the backside 1. Let's say we are running right, the DT is the 1, and the LB becomes 2, the 9 is 3. To the backside, nose is 1, LB is 2, and DT is 3. All unocvered lineman are making their mate calls, so we are working together. In this case, the left guard and center are tracking nose to mike. The right guard and right tackle are tracking the 5 tech to LB. vs. a 5-3 stack as mentioned above, the center steps to secure his playside gap and must punch the nose to give the left guard time to get there. The RT must step protect playside gap which is right since we are running inside zone to the right. The RG is stepping playside gap and checking the 5 tech for a pinch as a prepares to track to LB. The inside zone is a great play to run vs. a 5-3 because becuase you can get the LB's, nose, and frontside DT and DE accounted for. The numbering is the same for the outside zone, with the exception that we are now using the outside bicep as our landmark and whe are fast rotating these combinations. Vs. the 5-3 stack I love to run load to the tight side, and our pitch scheme off the midline. Another way we have blocked this front on the is zone is to triple team the nose, pushing him vertical to the mike, with the BSG tracking the BS stacked Lb. The frontside tackle and tight end combo the DT vertically to the stacked LB, and the 9 tech is free. In this case, we are looking to get the back the ball quicker, as this is an A-B gap play. Guys running this defense are trying to protect their LB's, and take the middle away. They want to get more guys than you can block. But, the become vulnerable to the load option, oh, and also the FB dive through the strongside A gap. On that play you can let the backside DT go free, as well as the frontside 9 tech. You can get your BSG and BST up the field on LB's, tracking the Will and Mike. The TE and PST can can combo the DT to the stacked LB, and the Frontside center and guard can combo the nose to mike. This is a big play opportunity that will hold the LB's inside.
