Outside Zone

Get the edge set...

One the better compliments to the 'tight' zone we run is the 'outside' zone.

We tell our tackles and guards on the playside to 'secure' the playside, and everyone from the Center back will 'punch through the fat guys' and 'get out and run' to the big uglies.

In practice we go over the different kinds of combinations that the tackles and guards can see and the appropriate blocks to run through the edge. After that I just make sure everyone is running to a spot.



Here is some film. With the type of kids we consistently get this is probably our number 2 running play.
