3-5 vs zone play

Coach,
We see 2 different types of inside zone. We see one that starts off like a double team. The other we see is a stretch base inside zone. What is giving you the problem? Cut-back? d-line? lb's?

Coach,
When you play the zone make sure your COBRA (cut-back, bootbeg, reverse) player understands that zone running teams have reads for cut-back, be it a d-line or a LB that running back always has a 2 way go and your COBRA man has to be ready to fill any windows that open backside. We tell our guy he has to check for not only rb but any window that will open we do not pass up any windows.

make sure your backside de is not fllying up field. Have him crash down hard sometimes to stop cutback and make sure now your original COBRA player has QB on waggle..

If your d-line is not very good make sure they grap and not let those o-linemen to the next level. We have d-lineman hold us and turn our o-lineman so they can't come off.
