ZONE& REACH BLOCKING

PHILOSOPHY

1. Field General!

2. Why behind the whatconnect players to why

3. Play downhill

4. Limit the number of things each play practiced against

5. Answers defensive unpredictability and change6. Frees up/allows for multiplicity, in turn leading to

vanilla

7. PercentagesHeavy first down emphasis

8. Allows you to have good plays while you get a sense ofwhat the opposing DCs thoughts are

DEFINING OVERHANGStanding DE or LB outside the box for whom we do not have a receiver & cannot block.

Most often, we want to check AWAY from Overhang players.

DEFINING A and B SIDESB SIDE

Side of the ball where there is a DL within half a man of the B gap;in other words, a DL in a 2, 3, 4, or 4i.

Called B side because DL closest to the Center on that side is likely

responsible for B gap.

VV VV V

EXAMPLE 1:

3 on left, 2i on right

*Left side is a B side, Right side isnt

EXAMPLE 2:

5 on left, 4i on right

*Right side is a B side, Left side isnt


8/45


DEFINING A and B SIDESA SIDE

Side of the ball where there is noDL within half a man of the B gap;in other words, it is NOT a B side, there is NO 2, 3, 4i, or 4.

It is called A because the DL nearest the Center to that side is likely an

A gap defender.

V V VV V

EXAMPLE 1:4i on left, 5 on right

*Right side is an A side,Left side is B

EXAMPLE 2:2i & 6i on left, 3 on right

12/45


DEFINING Tight & Wide EDGE

A WIDE EDGE refers to a side

of a defense where the

widest player on the Line of

Scrimmage is in an outside

shade (5 or 9 technique)


13/45



..

Example:

COUNTER TREY to WIDE EDGE

Easier kick-out angle for BSG

A WIDE EDGE refers to a side

of a defense where the

widest player on the Line of

Scrimmage is in an outside

shade (5 or 9 technique)


14/45



A TIGHT EDGE refers to a side

of a defense where the widest

player on the Line of

Scrimmage is in a head-up or

inside technique (4-4i / 6-6i)


15/45



A TIGHT EDGE refers to a side

of a defense where the widest

player on the Line of

Scrimmage is in a head-up or

inside technique (4-4i / 6-6i)

Example:

STRETCH to TIGHT EDGE

Easier Reach angle at

Point of Attack for T/TE


16/45


EDGES: TYPICAL PREFERENCES

Runs typically

preferred to WIDE EDGES

Gap runs (Counters, Power)

Interior Zone runs

G Scheme runs

Runs typically

preferred to TIGHT EDGES

Outside Zone/Stretch

Perimeter Options

Tosses/Sweeps


17/45


MOTION CHECKS: IF Motion

IF tells tagged receiver to motion across formation and block

Overhang ifan overhang exists to call sideQB will trigger by liftingheel. Otherwise, block normal backside rules.

H

Example: Call is H IF 4 Power Solid

QB Sees Safety rotation strong,

thus an Overhang strong

Lifts heel to Motion H over to block rotating Saf


18/45


MOTION CHECKS: SKATE Check

From I formation, tells FB to Skate into position needed to do his

basic job on the play based on where QB checks the play

Example: Call is Skate Check 24/25

FBs job on 24/25 Inside Zone is to CHIP

backside EMOLwill Skate opposite

the QBs call

Example: Call is Skate Check 18/19

FBs job on 18/19 Stretch is to LEAD to

the Overhang playerwill Skate to the

QBs call


19/45


MOTION CHECKS: BOUNCE Check

From a balanced formation, used to put TE or inside receivers

on alert that the one away from the checked call will motion tothe call will motion across the formation to be a kickout or

bonus blocker.

Typically used against defenses that do not make a majoradjustment to motion, allowing us to Gain numbers at the

point of attack.

Runs typically used in conjunction with Bounce check are

Power and Stretch

QB makes check based on normalA Side / B Side criteria for those plays


20/45


MOTION CHECKS: BOUNCE Check

From a balanced formation, used to put TE or inside receivers on

alert that the one away from the checked call will motion to the call

Example:

Call is Bounce Check 4/5 Power

QB checks play to B Side (4)

TE on left steps off on cue, resets,

Bounces to Frontside to kick out

TE


21/45


MOTION CHECKS: PEEL Check

From a balanced formation, used to put TE or inside receivers

on alert that the one away from the checked call will motion tothe call will motion across the formation and back to seal the

backside edge.

Runs typically used in conjunction with Bounce check are

Inside Zone and Counter Trey

QB makes check based on normalA Side / B Side criteria for those plays


22/45


BASE RUNS with JUKETag telling BS receiver to run a 1-step JUKE route.

QB has option to abort the run without a check and throwthe Juke if CB is 7 yards or deeper in alignment.

(May check protection if run involves a puller)


23/45


BASE RUNS with JUKETag telling BS receiver to run a 1-step JUKE route.

Example: Call is 25 JUKE

Outside WR on right runs Juke

Inside Zone play (25) proceeds as normal if CB 6 or tighter

QB takes 1 step, deals to the Juke without a check if CB 7 or deeper


24/45


RUN/QUICK CHECKS: IndividualCheck that pairs a Core Run with an Individual quick throw.

CRITERIA for QBs DECISION can be:

1. 1 safety (Throw) or 2 safety (Run)

2. Off Corners (Throw) or Press/Cloud Corners (Run)

3. Overhang player width:Throw v. Tight / Run v. Walked off

(Generally used against known 1-safety defenses)


25/45



INDIVIDUAL ROUTES can be:

1) Dictated by the coach in the call

2) Initiated by the coach with freedom to hand signal

3) Just called as Indy, requiring a hand signal by QB/WR

RUNS can be:

1) Dictated by the coach in the call2) Built in as their own Check, telling the QB to use hisA Side/B Side criteria, should the defensive structure direct

him to run


26/45



PROCEDURALLY, can:

1) Assume run with an option to check throw(24 Check Indy)

(Zone Check Indy)

2) Assume pass with an option to check to a known run(80 Double Quick Out Check 24)(80 Double Hitch Check Zone)(80 Double Indy Check Zone)


27/45



Example: Call is 80 DOUBLE QUICK OUT CHECK 4

Criteria for call is # of safeties

Single safety look tells QB to check 80


28/45



Example: Call is 80 DOUBLE QUICK OUT CHECK 4

Criteria for call is # of safeties

Two safety defense tells QB to check 4 Power



29/45



Example: Call is ZONE CHECK INDY

Criteria for call is width of Overhang players

Walked off Overhangs tell QB to check run;

A Side to left tells him to check 25



30/45


Example: Call is ZONE CHECK INDY

Criteria for call is width of Overhang players

TIghtened Overhangs tell QB to check pass;

Depth & Leverage of CB tell him to signal Hitch



31/45

RUN/QUICK CHECKS: ConceptsCheck that pairs a Core Run with an Concept throw in the

Quick Passing Game (e.g., Turn, Spacing, Fade/Flat)CRITERIA for QBs DECISION can be:

1. 1 safety (Throw) or 2 safety (Run)

2. Safety rotation3. Alignment of a specific defender who must not be allowed to

defend run and a Quick route structure(most often Overhang LB/Nickel Player)



32/45


Quick Passing Game (e.g., Turn, Spacing, Fade/Flat)

Example: Call is 80 TURN CHECK 18

Criteria for call is number of safeties

Single safety look tells QB to check 80 Turn



33/45



Example: Call is 25 CHECK 80 SLANT

Want to run 25 to a clean surface weak;

QB knows Slant/Arrow is his check if safety rotates into it

?



34/45



Example: Call is 25 or 80 FADE/FLAT

Make the Overhang wrong:

If he covers down the Slot, run Zone at a good bubble underneath him;

If he creeps down, he gives up leverage on the Flat route

?



35/45



Example: Call is 80 TURN CHECK 18

Criteria for call is number of safeties

Two safety look creates good leverage for the Stretch; QB checks 18



36/45

BASIC CHECKExpansion of Run/Quick Check that adds the following

priorities that supercede a Run or a Quick:1. Check to a Bubble Screen versus an Uncovered look

2. Check to an Alley Screen v. 0 Safety or possibly 5-manpressure looks (depending on game plan)

If neither of those present themselves, QB goes throughRun/Quick thought process based on whatever criteria he would

normally use (# of safeties / CB leverage / Overhang)



37/45

BASIC CHECK

Example: Call is BASIC CHECK

LB structure does not cover down to all three receivers

Check Bubble Screen



38/45

BASIC CHECK


Defense shows Zero Safety, Pressure look

Check Alley Screen



39/45

BASIC CHECK


Defense covers down, One high safety

Check to built in Quick ConceptSpacing in this example



40/45

BASIC CHECK


Defense covers down, Two high safeties

Check to built in runZone Read to the B Side (left)



41/45

MAKING it WORK: CHECKERS

Jeff Tedford / Rick Neuheisel / Homer Smith

Key component of QBs training!

Eliminate bad reps on the field work out problems before!

Create a lot of scenarios in a short period of time

Helps him see the Why being manipulated in front of him

Safe forum to ask questions Use in summer install, periodic review pre-season

Ideally use after Monday practice and Thursday after practicereview in-season

Make him call play in huddle just as youll give it to him Make him manage CLOCK

Make him rehearse CADENCE

Create worst-case scenarios



42/45

MAKING it WORK: CADENCE

HOW WE GET THE LAST WORD

Varying CADENCE serves three fundamental purposes for us:

1. Creates rhythm for US,

disrupts the ability for THEM to get off the ball fast

2. Gather information / force defense to tip their hand!

3. Draw defense offsides Get a free 5



43/45


OVERVIEW

Have When cadencePlay is on play? Type concludes Other

NORMAL Yes Normal Run the play! Nothing said

FALSE No Fake Normal Check to a play

FAST Yes Quick Run the play!

FAST FALSE No Fake Quick Check to a play

DUMMY Yes Fake Normal Allow for adjustments

Check, or Were Good,,

then Down, SetHIT



44/45


BEST USES

Cadence Why / when featured

NORMAL Create / maintain rhythm versus non-disguise teams

FALSE Safely gather information and disrupt DL get-off

FAST Exploit simple plays versus teams that show late;discourage late rotations/disguises; Change the tempo;

Perimter plays and/or unusual formations

FAST FALSE Safely gather info and exploit threat of Fast cadenceDUMMY To pre-call more sophisticated, wordy pass calls, but be able

to identify protection problems



45/45

MAKING it WORK: MOVEMENT

Movement can also help us see things and have the final word

becauseA) Movements force adjustments, which typically means

defenders moving to their final alignment

B) In Shotgun, our QB will flash his hands in the same way hewould for a snap, which is also, at times, a trigger for defensesto show

C) Often, if they do not move when you move, it is just as telling:ex: 2i & 3 tech dont flip when TE trades Zone Dog to 2i sideis likely!
