question for oneback?

PS: When running the Inside Zone to split end side to 2I - IF there is a shade on the center's strongside - we can use the 3 man zone blocking A. Gibbs talked about (what JOE BUGEL calls "GANG"). the ON G - CTR - OFF G = 3 man zone to callside (the off G is going to HAVE to take a tight split & be as far off the ball as possible to cutoff shade.

The OFF G cuts his split to "6=12", & is as far off the ball as legal. He trys to cutoff the shade - but the main thing is to STAY on him! We don't PRE-DETERMINE the cutback - it has to OCCUR. You already know our Zone Blocking rules - they rely on RECOGNITION. We have "names" for each potential "double team" that MIGHT occur in both Zone & Counter/Power blocking, & only make the calls if there is a "gray area". EXAMPLES of Calls:


1. MINGO = man block
2. COMBO = zone block with offside H/Y & T (T would be covered)
3. SLIP = " " " " T & G
4. SCOOP = " " " " G & C
5. RAY/LENNY = " " " Center & onside G (RAY = RT & LENNY = LT)
6. READ = " " " Onside G & T
7. TUT = " " " " T & TE
8. GANG = " " " " G-T-TE (3 man zone)
9. TAG = fold block with Onside G & T
10. TEX = " " " " T & TE

NOTE: 1-10 primarily refer to ZONE plays

11. FOUR = Double team between TE & tight wing (another TE) from man on Te to near LB\
12. TREY = " " " Onside TE & T from man on Tackle to backside LB
13. DUECE = " " " " T & G " " " Guard " " "
15. ACE = " " " " G & C " " " Center " " "
16. GAP = All playside blockers block first man to inside whrn CTR & On G are covered (Counter/Power series).

NOTE: 11-16 primarily used in Counter/Power series.

Since all we really teach is the zone blocking, & counter/power blocking - we have a lot of time to spend on this. As I said: WE PREFER NOT TO MAKE CALLS BUT TO BLOCK BY RECOGNITION (COVERED/UNCOVERED) - but when there is a "gray area" - we are prepared to make calls. Our kids KNOW what those terms mean - since we refer to them everyday inb practice.

Coach do you run 2 back/3 wide?? How would you adapt the zone running game to that formation?? Lets say you have a 5,1,3,5 look on the d-line. Would you have a rule like 6 in the box run 7 in the box throw it??

My fax will only send not receive. Maybe you can just write up a little description.
