[QUOTE="jgtengineer, post: 483733, member: 3094"] I want to add a little clarification for anyone that didn't understand the zone dive statement. A Zone play usually means that the running back is finding a hole that appears after the play begins. They are looking for the comeback lane and the line is blocking the zone to create that potential lane based on how the defense moves. These plays are usually one of two varieties. Inside Zone which looks to create this gap in between the guards shoulders . Or outside zone, usually with stretch action from under center ( more of an NFL thing) or from gun. Outside zone is looking to run outside the tackle or run up field underneath a line looking to zone that area. The Zone Read for instance is unlike our option game in that usually both running lanes are outside. With the read to cut up. The read end determines if the outside zone is going to the left or to the right. The line is blocking zone (and some times doing it flat to the line) so that you can easily add a zone read triple concept with the quick throw based on the outside backer. Our Zone Option uses this concept kinda its run more like an outside stretch with an option action off of it. And thr qb taking the stretch path. Zone blocking is a simpler scheme and requires less footwork and precision which is why it is favored in the nfl where pass defense is a premium. The reason i said we rarely if ever run a true zone dive is that most of the time we are man up power blocking the called dive using things like cross blocks or chips to open a particular gap rather than the b back reading. The last time I honestly remember us running a true zone dive was 2010 with Allen. It looked like draw action to give the b back enough time to read the line. And we did it specifically for Dwyer.
