Coach Campbell,

Other than Inside Veer, and the Midline do you run any quick dives to your fullback. Watching your running play tape it seems all the other fullback plays has a drop step crossover technique. The Inside Zone plays would be a new philosophy for our offense. Can you tell me why and how important you've found these plays to be. I like the near ear rule with lineman pushing/influencing defensive linemen and the running backs making the read. Our kids have always been taught run to the hole called, now the inside zone opens up a whole new world.

Coach,
When you think of inside zone you think of option hole running which coach campbell talks running the "V". The reason inside zone is a good football play to the fb & hb is you don't need dominant o-lineman for the fact you double at the POA (vertical push to 2nd level defenders) and let RB's be RB's. We were a wishbone football team that would run plays that were specifically designed to run in a certain gap (man rule). We got away from that for the fact teams were stemming alot and confusing our lineman. Any run that allows you RB to choose his path is good.

Lets say you want to run IZ from the spread formation with your fullback at Inside Veer depth. Should you deepen him?

This is the same depth the FB's are aligned when we run inside veer. I would say adjust according to the type of FB you have.

Most teams that run the IZ to their Tailback set him at seven or more yards from the LOS. This gives him a better look at the cut lanes. With the FB at 4 yards it seems that you can make up for the lack of depth with more of a delay before he attacks the line. Can his footwork be adjusted to allow the vision of a 7-8 yd tailback? I am asking because we are going to less of an I to more of a spread next year. I am moving a pretty good kid to Fullback. He has pretty good vision but I am worried about the 4 yd thing. What do you all think?

Also, "The Assembly Line" by Milt Tenopir (former University of Nebraska O-Line Coach) would be a good read (reading it right now, again).

Very simple and very workable. Our guys can handle it, and it's the same stuff UNL ran in the mid 90's when they were running all over the place and scoring 50+ a game.

Coach Smart - when installing the inside zone with your fullback and tailback always remind them that the ball can be run out the backside which I call the backside of the "V". When teaching your running backs to cut you will always want to consider cutting of any shade that is towards the play called. Always assume that your offensive linemen can't reach their defender so running back cut backside of their push, this sets these types of plays up. Coach CAmpbell
