Football 101: Outside Zone
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ย. 2021
- Outside zone has been a part of NFL run games for decades. It started to become popular in the 1980s and in the 1990s with Alex Gibbs and Mike Shanahan. It has become even more popular in the past few years with Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay basing their entire offenses around the scheme. The scheme attacks space instead of players and offers a versatile play that doesn’t demand vertical movement and instead stresses defenses on the perimeter.

One of my favorite plays to watch develop when it's run well. Super versatile and a staple for many offenses at all levels.

The more football you watch the more you learn to appreciate it as an art form. When an outside zone or passing concept like Dagger works to perfection it’s f’n gorgeous
Thank you great explanation of how it works
We often call it a "cutback" but if you look at where the bend cut happens it's actually usually somewhere around the B/C gap preplay and is more of a cut upfield. I think I first heard Coach Gibbs point that out
thx for these breakdowns... they are impactful salute!
Very good. thank you. I've never thought through the concept of filled and unfilled gaps. That makes it a lot easier.
Nice video thanks for the explanation
Awesome tutorial!
I appreciate it!
Thanks.
In addition to the concepts videos, maybe you could also do individual technique videos. There's SO MANY qb breakdowns around, but not much really for literally every other position.
I like it. I'll add that idea for a little video series of some sort. Coaching in the playoffs for high school ball currently so hopefully when the season is over I'll have some more time to dive into that stuff
could you make a video on sean mcvay and his offense with stafford at the helm. also, how he uses kupp and his unique skill set. putting him at rb and using motion just to get him open and in space
Kupp is definitely on the short list. He's having a monster year. Took a quick look at the Rams offense against the Bucs a few weeks ago: th-cam.com/video/5SR24d5x_jU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for nice break down coach!. I have a question. on the second play (Colts) is it possible Center block NT and RG reach to 2nd level? if it is possible is it decided pre-snap or rule that Coach set up for this kind of front?
I've always wondered what type of linemen you need to look out for to run either a zone or gap scheme. It seems zone schemes are more running back dependent while gap schemes are more linemen dependent. I'd imagine it's tough to find the right personnel to be able to run both effectively, even though some teams do, I'd imagine they're the exception and not typical.
Zone based teams usually emphasize getting guys that are a little more athletic and that can make blocks in space. You still need the power to move guys obviously, but gap schemes will tend to have bigger bodies with a little more strength. Tough to find linemen that can all consistently do both at a high level.
@@WeeklySpiral Yeah, those are the general descriptors I've heard before. I've just always been curious what teams do when they have the linemen for one scheme and the running back for another. I've seen the Saints over the years even going back to the Bush/McAllister days up to Kamara/Ingram be able to run both. I think they basically got guards who could run gap schemes since the rest of the line is usually down-blocking at that point, and a center and tackles who can run zone.
What is the difference with inside zone?
What is the difference between outside zone and wide zone?
Piggybacking on this. Really diggin the concepts videos. I'd love to see them be a little longer, going more in depth about variations, different things opponents do to counter, etc.
They're mostly blocked the same, but the intention of the play and the aiming point of the running back differs. Outside zone puts an emphasis on getting the edge and only getting away from stretching outside when it's taken away. The aiming point for the running back is at the tight end. On wide zone, the offense still wants the horizontal stretch, but they're less concerned with getting outside. The aiming point is at the tackle which makes things a little tighter and you'll also sometimes see cut-blocking on the backside to create an alley down the middle of the field for a cutback.
Inside zone please
Inside zone is up next. Should have it out on Monday
@@WeeklySpiral appreciate you 💪🏾👍🏾
