[QUOTE="ilovetheoption, post: 825537, member: 1414"] [FONT=Calibri]So, at this point, the only remaining problem is that backside defensive end. The first way they came up with to solve that problem is just to run the play to the other side, to the outside, and figure "yeah dude, a defensive end is just not fast enough to catch up with our RB from behind on the far side of the formation, we'll have the play Aimed at the C or D gap". The 90's Denver Broncos put a LOT of dudes in the hall of fame with exactly that approach. That play has various names. Wide Zone. Stretch. Outside Zone. To my mind, the guys who do it best are Iowa, and they call it "Angle", so that's what I'm going to call it. So you have "Angle" (to the outside) and "Zone" (to the inside). Angle's a great play. If do right, no can defense, but you guys don't do a ton of it, so I'm not going to cover it here. It requires you to be REALLY good at it to be really good at it, but once you're REALLY good at it, it's an asskicker, because the DEFAULT of the play is a perfectly blocked run to the perimeter, and if the defense over-pursues, it gets worse from there. Again, though, you have to really commit to it, and GT does not). Truth be told, you can aim the zone anywere, I'm drawing it up at A gap, but the idea is you're reading the first defender backside of the aiming point.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
