zone: The presentation

To kind of condense things and try to make sense of where I am going with my zone system, I built this presentation. This is really my first time doing this from a schematic point of view and not just throwing a bunch of tape together.

If anything jumps out or appears to be odd, please let me know. Would love some feedback.

Compliments to the Zone Scheme

Was playing around with these thoughts after watching a great Glazier eclinic the other day.


VEER?
As a change up of the backs aiming point, run veer away from the normal stretch of zone. All runs the same, must have tackle execute the sift correctly..ie if backer sits, you must block, if backer flows crack force.



MIDLINE?
Running Zone towards the back. Same look as veer, but a little bit hard hitting (more downhill.) Here the PST would make an under call, to go under the dive key.



We see almost all the teams we play slant to the back on our zone plays, and I think these would be great compliments to take advantage of those defensive adjustments.

Here is a similar concept we ran this year...a simple dive play, with out the reads. You can see, I think, how dynamic adding that wrinkle would make us.

Some Counters

Here are 2 of our favorite counter plays off the base zone action.


The first is a simple power look. We like this action because it starts out looking exactly like zone and then we bend it back over (hence the counter portion of the play.)

The other is similar action, but it is a tackle wrap play with the QB providing the counter action.
