[QUOTE="nodawgs, post: 26939, member: 51"] That is what I'm talking about. Zoning front side or backside of a play is not the Inside/Outside Zone play. Zoning refers to a combo between the 2 OLinemen. Just like Railroad (Reach and Run), Pin and Pull, or even Fanning. Zoning is not the actual play. You can't run an actual inside zone from our base formation under center. The deep back must be 7 yards deep in order to give the blocking time to develop. We had a young coach one time who stood up in a meeting and said "we need to hit the line faster on inside zone". What he didn't understand was that its not a race to hit a gap on that play. You have to give your linemen the time to drive the defender into the 2nd level and chip off to the LBers. If not your RB will run right into an unblocked LBer. On your dive play that you mentioned, you are zoning at the point of attack rather than Base Blocking. Its a dive play that's been around forever, but is still not the inside zone. If you ran your dive play at the goal line you would have to make a Base block call in order to cover all of the extra defenders now in the gaps. If you zoned at the point of attack, a extra defender would shoot through and blow the play up. Even a simple Iso call can involve zoning, but it's still not the inside zone play. [/QUOTE]
