[QUOTE="jgtengineer, post: 378818, member: 3094"] I answered this earlier in the thread but I will explain it again. When running a zone option, the unblocked defender is less of static player and more a zone. Usually its the last defender on the line is unblocked, this messes with the concept of "assignments" because on any given play "the pitch man" becomes the inside read key. At its base the zone option does what we do with blocking change-ups. Simply running what we do from the gun isn't really going to work. ( see georgia southern this year or fritz when he would attempt to run flexbone style reads out of the gun instead of zone). Zone option offense typically also uses positioning instead of trail motion for the pitch man. where he runs ahead ofthe qb and then gets into position like running a flat or swing route. This is to allow the QB to ride the RB enough to force a commit from the read key. Second Level blocking is usually inferior in these schemes as its based on combo blocks and congestion. In most Zone Read schemes the QB is the primary carrier of the ball. In the flexbone it's truly designed to try to be 25 30 45 in favor of the a backs qb and bb. It also requires a different type of offensive lineman. This is the big key. Lateral mobility such as pulling and ripping to the second level aren't as big of a deal as drive blocking and being a bigger body. Splits are closer to try and create more room on the edge for the QB read keep. If someone could ever have enough players and tiem to run both schemes you'd have a pretty unstoppable option. Both schemes work. Ours has a little more in the way of answers if the defense starts defeating the base play. Zone schemes usually rely on a short passing game to try and change it up, when that doesn't work. (Auburn vs clemson, auburn vs uga II) [/QUOTE]
