outside zone with pullers

The best thing I have EVER seen on this is the video "The Colorado Offense" by Bill McCartney. They are 2 TE/2 WR/1 RB - LIKE THE INDY COLTS. You can order it from "SYSKOS" by calling 1-800-932-2534. The entire video is about running the ouside zone with pullers. To the "RED" (reduced - B gap defended by a DLM) side of the defense in an "OVER" - where there is a 3 tech DT & a 6 or 9 tech DE, they block the T down on the 3 technique & fold the G around on the SAM LB (aligned on outside leg of T), while TE bases the DE.

On the "WHITE" (wide side - B gap defended by a LB) side of the "Over" defense - where there is a 2I tech DT & a 7 tech DE, they block the TE down on the 7 tech & fold the T around on the Will LB.

You need to see that video.

We run the outside zone with pullers and block the inside zone with zone combos. Have been very successful over the past 4 seasons running this offense. 4 straight years with a 1000 yard rusher in a one back offense and our QB has passed for over 2000 in 3 of the 4 years.

email me at jetsweep78@hotmail.com and I can email you our playbook pages from the inside and stretch plays.

Bill,

I'll be looking for that technique. Thanks again.

I don't have film on the Colts but it appears exactly the same as Colorado (what I described above).

You need to look at the video (1994) by Bill McCartney on the "COLORADO OFFENSE" (order it from "SYSKOS" by calling 1-800-932-2534). The whole video is on the Ouside Zone 0- mainly with pullers. They started a lot of this, because they did not feel you could always get by with full zone blocking. Will give you a GENERALIZATION (below) because I cannot take eacvh situation that might arise & do it justice. Keep in mind this is 2 TE/2 WR/1 RB Examples are vs. a "4-3 OVER" (since we are in playoffs, cannot spend more time vs other looks - suggest yo u get video if interested).

On the "RED" (reduced) side of the defense (where B Gap defended by DLM) they like to FOLD with the Tackle blocking down on the 3 tech & the Guard folding around on the Sam LB. Te bases 6 (or 9) & play USUALLY crams C gap behind folding Guard because the 6 or 9 will stretch. Everone ELSE (inside the folding Guard) blocks Outside Zone, so only TWO men deviate (ON G & ON T).

On the "WHITE" (wide) side of the defense (where B gap defended by a LB) they like to down block the 7 with the TE and fold the Tackle around on Will LB. Guard can EITHER reach thru B gap on MLB, or pull around behind the Tackle, giving you 2 pullers. Everyone ELSE blocks Outside Zone, so only 2 or 3 men deviate.

If you would like to discuss this via phone - my number = 804-740-4479. Call before 10 PM EDT.

I have the McCartney tape, if you're interested in a trade. Leave your email & I'll get in touch with you.

Can you run this outside zone with pullers out of a spread, no tight end set ?
Can you use the same scheme as sprintout pass protection ?
