We have talked multiple time before about the problems a Tight End causes with the Inside Zone Scheme. By adding an extra gap, the defense must bring another defender down to deal with the run threat.
The Trio Formation is one of the hardest formations in football to defend. If you have the personnel, I personally think this formation causes more issues to a defense than the traditional Trips formation.
The Outside Zone is one of the most universal concepts in football. This play is a staple of offenses from the Youth Level all the way up to the NFL.
One of the major benefits of basing your offense out of the Inside Zone and Power schemes is the ability to quickly change the play with simple tags. The Flat Tag is an easy tag that can change the appearance of the Inside Zone and get the ball in the hands of your playmaker in […]

With the Inside Zone becoming popular defenses are beginning to create ways to give the Quarterback false reads and force the least dynamic ball carrier to end up with the ball. When done effectively this can leave the offense grabbing at straws in an attempt to get their best player touches.
We love controlling the defensive line with the inside wham play. The inside wham play is an excellent play to call against disruptive defensive tackles.
