Rules For Blocking the Tailback Iso?

Coach the Tailback ISO like all the ISO I teadh are built around the near ear and a phrase that I use "Part The Sea" at the point of attack. By pushing the near ear and slowly rotating the combo the ISO parts and the hole widens and becomes walled by the combos that are generated by the down linemen. Example ISO Tightside = 7 tech, 3 tech and a backside 1 tech. to the 7 tech you would get a trey out by the tight end and tackle on the 7 tech to outside invert., the guard would have the 3 tech by himself turning him out using his near ear rule, the center and backside guard would combo the 1 tech ( ace ) to the backside backer slowly rotating their butts while tracking the backside backer. if backer flows over the top the center would pick him up, if backer triggered underneath the combo then the guard would have him. The fullback would have playside LBer. This is a place we can start on the ISO remember: " Part The Seas At The Point Of Attack" Coach Campbell

Coach you are on the right track, the explanation that you use is the same as I use. Indeed its the playside lber not necessarily the first backer past the center this example would take into consideration a 4-3 scheme. Thus, its the first LBer playside not the first backer past the center. A running back must understand the the oline will push the near ear of the down defender so he must know where the sea will part. Example would be the turn out of a 3 tech by the guard thus the ISO is running into "A" gap. We can go further with this. Coach CAmpbell

The rule is playside Lber So the ISO goes to the same with a base by the TE turning the 9 tech out and the guard and tackle duece blocking the 3 tech to the mike. This is done by using the near ear rule, thus the sea parts in "C" gap. Coach CAmpbell

Remember use near ear towards the play. vs head up 50 - The Tight end would position his head on the inside ear of 6 tech. the tackle would position his helmet on the iside ear of the 4 tech and the guard would position his helmet on the near ear of the nose and the center since he is working a combo with the playside guard would have his helmet backside of the nose comboing to backside LBer. The guard would have the inside ear of the 4 tech and the backside tackle the inside ear of the def. end. he and the backside guard fan backside. Coach CAmpbell

Coach on the ISO is a designed play for the fullback to ISO on the playside backer, any combo should be looking for backside linebacker away from the one being isolated on by the fullback. Coach Campbell
