inside zone vs 4-4 stack

i posed the same question to the university of minnesota coaching staff, this was there reply:




Two 2 techniques
Front side:
You can use the center and the guard to combo the front side side 2 tech.
If the 2 tech playes the front side then the guard will take him and run
the "B" board. The Stacked linebacker will either play frontside which
will run him out of the play or he will rock back into the "A" gap which
the center will be waiting for him. If the 2 tech Backdoors the guard
block then the center will take him and the guard will go toward the
Stacked LB.
The tackle and the tightend will combo the 7tech and the outside backer.
first you can double team the 7 and come off late on the backer or if the
backer is showing right away then just fan the look trying to stretch the
defenders out.

Back Side:
It works basically the same way. You can use the tackle and the Guard to
combo the 2 tech the same rules apply. They just have to run their boards.
The guard should naturally cut off the 2 tech and the tackle will take him
over. The Guard would then go to the plugging LB. If the LB plays
Backside then there should be a hole up the middle and if he plugs the
guard should be right there for him. Just leave the backside end alone
because he should be on an island with the QB's boot fake.



they also stated the cutback is probably what will be most available.



hope that helps

went to the UM football web-site, and got an e-mail address and e-mailed the oline coach.

pretty simple, and they were very helpful

week or 2

Coach DC29 did you happen to get anymore info on their zone running game? Like how they handle a playside shade or a playside 3 technique? When do they pull on their outside zone?
