DEFIANCE COLLEGE COACHES CLINIC
The Zone Running Game

The problem with many of us is simply this. we like this, we like that. we go to clinics, we talk to coaches. Ultimately, though, we fail to recognize that successful offenses are packaged. I dont care if you run wishbone, the wing-t, or the I. YOU MUST HAVE A SYSTEM. Ask yourself this question: DO I HAVE A SYSTEM OR JUST A COLLECTION OF PLAYS?
Jerry Hanlon, Former Offensive Line Coach The University of Michigan
Presentation Goals: 1. Share how we went from a collection of plays to a system and the results of our efforts.
2. Communicate what we believe to be the keys to a successful zone run game.

3. Identify and illustrate the fundamentals of our zone plays for each position. 4. Show video cuts illustrating our variations of the play.
Our Zone Running Game :

3 Distinct Zone Plays: Inside Zone - Read the 1st Covered Down Lineman. Outside Zone (OZ) - Read the End Man on the Line of Scrimmage Stretch - Read Force Player-Get it Outside!
Difference in Zone, OZ & Stretch Aim Points & Primary Reads: ZONE
Read is the block on the first Down Lineman(DLM).
Aim Point on Zone is hip of the 1st covered offensive lineman past the Center. A shade does not count. Note: We adjusted this in 2006 play numbering would tell TB where we wanted him to read.
Difference in Zone, OZ & Stretch Aim Points & Primary Reads: OZ

Read is the block on the End Man on the Lin of Scrimmage(EMOL).
Aim Point is inside foot of the TE or ghost TE
Difference in Zone, OZ & Stretch Aim Points & Primary Reads: STRETCH
Read is the block on force defender: He can be outside and off the LOS, coming from the alley, coming from the corner, or up on the LOS. He can be blocked by FB or WR. Aim Point on Stretch is 1 yard deep by 3 yards outside a TE or ghost TE.
How we switched to the Zone Running Game

Discovered we had a problem against odd fronts
2003 Run Efficiency vs. Even Fronts opponent(8-3) 71% opponent(1-9) 67% opponent(4-6) 62% opponent(3-7) 62% opponent(6-4) 58% 2003 Run Efficiency vs. Odd Fronts opponent(0-10) 53% opponent(7-4) 50% opponent(7-3) 44% opponent(2-8) 38% opponent(15-0) 33%

Discovered we had a problem against odd fronts Went back and studied ourselves versus the top tier of the conference 2000-2003
Opponent Study 2000-2003

Record 1-7 versus opponents studied 40% run efficient 3.44 yards per carry Only 8 total +12 yard runs in 8 games 32 different run calls used Could not identify a base offense from what was called

Discovered we had a problem against odd fronts Went back and studied ourselves versus the top tier of the conference 2000-2003 Started with some questions
Conclusions about our run game(03):

We have become scheme heavy while sacrificing being fundamentally sound Our schemes do not provide us with a sequence of problems for a defense. There is not a logical progression for us. When one scheme does not work we just try something else. We cannot effectively practice all of the schemes we have.
Conclusions about our run game(03):

Our man scheme blocking causes our lineman to become tentative if the defense presents a new look or movement. We must simplify our offense by cutting down our schemes, but make it appear more complicated to the defense by presenting more looks(formations, shifts, motion). What we have been using has not allowed us success against the top tier of our conference.
2004-2006 Offense
1. Attitude - We will attack with a punishing running game that destroys the defensive line. 2. We will use spread formations & compressed formations to open up the run & pass. (Expand & Contract) 3. We will use a base offense week after week. 4. We will adjust with formations, not by adding new plays. 5. We will take advantage of our abilities with personnel packages.
The Stretch Play 2004-2005

178 carries for 1,840 yards 21% of our offense attempts in 20042005 10.3 yards per carry 73% efficient (+4) yards 53 explosives(+12 yard runs) 17 TDs
The Stretch Play 2006

68 carries for 409 yards 11% of our offense attempts in 2006 6.0 yards per carry 62% efficient (+4) yards 12 explosives(+12 yard runs) 4 TDs Starting TE injured for 6 games/FB was converted TB-175 LBS Needed to be creative with how we blocked the edge. Still a good play for us. Became better as the game wore on.
Primary Objectives of the Stretch Play

To get the entire backfield and line on a wide railroad track To force the defense to stretch quickly. To beat them to the corner with a show of force. to cut up in a lane they open by pursuing incorrectly. Linemen think overtake & flat course to LB
Worst Case Scenario: All linemen running parallel with the line of scrimmage
Cut-up lanes will open for the Back.

Gap responsibility Technique versus different alignments
Outside Technique
Both Linemen step laterally The outside OL is going at the outside bicep; inside OL is going at inside #/sternum. If the inside # disappears, the inside OL should stay flat and climb to level 2. He should NOT climb straight upfield
12
Play Direction
Outside Technique
Coaching Points: OL going to 2nd level should flatten and let the LB come to him. NEVER turn back on zone plays. He should stay on his tracks and continue on past level 2 to the safety. When blocking a LB he should try to run him over. At the very worst he will get in the way. Play Direction
12
Head-up Technique
OL should know the % of him coming inside is now greater.
12
Outside OL will step with outside foot and punch with inside hand. Inside OL aims for inside # landmark. He should attempt to overtake.
Lineman who comes off should come off flat and let LB come to him.
Play Direction
Inside Technique(uncovered)
This is not the outside OLs gap responsibility. Outside OL will step with outside foot and punch with inside hand to help stop penetration. He should get the 2nd step down quickly.
12
He should attempt to overtake the next adjacent DL or flatten and let the LB come to him. Play Direction

Stretch: Climb the Levels Drill Open Crossover at land mark 3x1 off TE As TB approaches 1st defender(cone or bag) he should dip his inside shoulder to simulate a cut up & accelerate. Continue dipping and climbing the levels at each cone or bag. Cut up after last cone.
Stretch TB Coaching Points

Distinct Read especially on down & distance situations(know how much you need) 1st step is open and 2nd is at landmark. Get Shoulders pointed to sideline. Make the LBs move. You will have a primary read and adjustments to what happens on your track Track adjustment: you read the blockers numbers and opposite color is showing outside-cut up. Unblocked opposite color flashes on your track-cut up. Goal is to get to the perimeter quickly(climb your track) and take advantage of improper pursuit. Dip your shoulder inside to set up your blocks. If you cut up, get back outside after the cut.
TB Tech. Menu
Primary TB Read: Force
Get on your path and read the block on the force player. Keep climbing on your track to the outside!
TB Tech. Menu
Identify your Read: Force player. Based on his alignment how quickly will he force? Check alignment of DE on TE. Potential problem or adjustment?
Tailback 6 Second RuleStretch
TB Tech. Menu
Tailback Climbing Levels on Stretch

In this example the TB has 3 blockers on the edge.
His progression should be to read each as he stays on his track toward sideline.
1st blocker gets the outside half of defender = Stay on track, eyes to next block outside. To make blockers commit, dip your inside shoulder. This will help your blocker get outside leverage.

2nd blocker gets the outside half of defender = Stay on track, eyes to next block outside.

Slide 3 of 4
3rd blocker fights to get the outside half of defender =Stay on track and continue to run towards sideline. If you are gaining ground do not cut up because pursuit from the inside will get you. The result is +12 yards.
