Everything you need to know about the zone read

Tempo is a big key to this working as well. This offense forces opponents into a somewhat predictable defense by running no huddle. LSU and Auburn had a lot of time to prepare and did a nice job against Oregon. LSU beat WVU which is similar but gave up a lot of yards. I am more of a fan of traditional under center, play-action and running the ball out of the I formation. Shorten the game and play good defense.

Even Saban mainly runs 1 back zone stuff these days.

And this is still a run first offense.The great thing about running from the gun is the numbers advantage.

From the I formation the qb is not a big run threat, and whoever runs the ball can't block for himself.

So you end up with 9 blockers for 11 defenders.

In the gun you are playing 10 on 11. That's why a lot of the best rushing teams in the NCAA play from the gun.

You being a coach...would u want a scat back type or a more physical type RB?

Physical. You need to be able to run through arm tackles. A lot of times when the back makes his cut at the line of scrimmage, he'll have a big lineman paw to run through.

ZBS can work with either type of back. You have to be able to see the hole the center and guards make.

Sorry if I took that the wrong way. I thought you were sayin it wouldn't work I'm the sec. There's a way of countering everything. If the do a, we can do b. so there is no perfect defense against this or any solid offense.

So it really just goes back to good coaching,
And I think we have a good one with a good plan.

He's supposed to be the best of both worlds. Like a Trent Richardson or Marcus Lattimore. If we get him and Lawson, this turnaround may go quicker than expected.

So yes, he would be your ideal RB for this offense?

If any of those players learn how to use cutback lanes, and holes. We will have a great rushing offense next year.

Everything I've seen says this is QB-centric. The QB is the one who must make the reads and decide where to go on every play. It's not just line up and run a certain play.

Do we have such a QB already on roster? Maybe.

Here's some good stuff from Butch Jones at CMU:

We talked about the bash/qb zone play earlier. It's the play where you have your RB try to outrun the DE, and if he can't, the QB keeps it on the zone (image added to help with my poor explanation here).

The problem with the bash play is, what if my RB can't outrun that DE? Here Butch Jones answers that question by using jet motion. This way the WR will be running full speed by the time the ball is snapped, and he is now controlling the backside DE. If the DE steps inside, the QB would have given to the WR on the sweep. Instead, the DE shuts off the sweep, and it results in a 5-6 yard run for the QB.

The play happens at 2:16. The very next play is a similar action, but this time both DE's are being blocked and it is a called inside zone play for the QB.

The reads aren't that complex. Vince Young was smart enough to run this stuff at Texas.

Some of the language is universal. A lot of the names on the images I'm sending, are from my personal play calling system. That's how I already have those images saved on my computer, under those names.

For the Alex Gibbs stuff, in one of the links I posted (the one were he teaches Urban Meyer how to run zone) he mentions his own naming system for the 18/19 man play.

Exactly. If you look at the diagrams, you almost never pull anyone. You always secure the defensive line first, and look to double team as long as possible.

The only difference on most of the plays is the back field action.

The system is simple and you can run the same play a ton of different ways to keep the defense on their heels, while keeping things simple for your guys. That's what an effective offense is all about, the appearance of complexity.

I just dont prefer zone blocking.

It seems as if Tennessee has not fared well with this type blocking scheme going back to Jimmy Ray Stephens.

how long do you think it will take CBJ to get the players on board with this new system vol8188 ? will there be a learning curve still going on after the start of the season ? and great post ,love it,thanks for taking the time to help me and others to understand what CBJ likes to run
