Inside Zone Principles

Inside Zone Blocking is designed to use themovement of the defenders against them as therunning back finds the crease in the defense (RunTo Daylight);

Inside Zone Blocking rules are keyed by whether a lineman is covered or uncovered;

Covered lineman will execute a Stretch Base

technique; Covered lineman will take a short Stretch Step

to the play side and attempt to control the playside shoulder of the defensive lineman;


10/34


The purpose of the Stretch Step is to invitemovement by the defensive lineman, and thenimmediately engage him;

Uncovered lineman execute a Stretch Doubletechnique as they step to the play side;

The uncovered lineman then attacks the backsideshoulder of the same defensive lineman, creating

double teams on most defensive lineman; The uncovered lineman assists the covered

lineman to the play side;


11/34


Four hands Four eyes Four hands on the defensive lineman and four

eyes on the linebacker in their area. Once the linebacker commits to the Line of

Scrimmage, one of the lineman chips off thedouble team and blocks him;

The other lineman must be prepared and in

position to block the defensive lineman; Goal cutback running lane for running back;


12/34

Outside Zone Principles

Goal of outside zone blocking is to get thedefense moving laterally across the field and tocreate seams in their coverage;

Covered lineman executes a rip -reachtechnique, taking an angle step at the play sideshoulder of the defensive lineman and ripsthrough with his backside arm;

Job of the covered lineman is to turn thedefensive linemans shoulders and get him off -balance and prepared for the combinationblocker.


13/34

Outside Zone Principles

The uncovered lineman executes a pull andovertake technique, executing a shallow pull steptoward play side and works to take over the blockof his partner;

Goal is for the covered lineman to rip through andget to the linebacker with the uncovered linemanattempting to overtake the covered linemansoriginal block.

and in the direction of the play call. Offensiveblocker must step positive (45 degrees) in thedirection of the play call. Offensive blocker mustwork for a fit - initiate contact - begin workingup the field for leverage - gradual turning of thedefensive player away from the direction of theplay.


25/34

Combination ConceptCOMBINATION BLOCKTwo offensive blockers being responsible for two defensiveplayers who are on two levels. Blocking sequence willinclude the drive and/or reach blocks with a subsequent

move to a second level. Two offensive blockers willengage a first level defensive player with the idea that theinside blocker will eventually be responsible for the firstlevel defensive player. The outside offensive blocker willhelp the inside blocker establish a fit and will then work to

the defensive player on level two. Outside offensiveblocker should not leave level one defensive player untilinside offensive player has established proper fit. This callwill work from the outside to the inside.
