We're moving to ZONE BLOCKING so here's some...

[raidersdiehard]

Blocking the zone is where it really helps to have linemen who can move horizontally. In fact, the OL must be able to move horizontally, all while keeping their shoulders square to the LOS (line of scrimmage) and while engaging the defense.

Draft Ryan Kalil 2nd round Played all 4 years at USC in that scheme screw grabbing a tackle we need a center first

thanks for the info bro. I was just about to post a thread asking what exactly zone blocking was. You answered my question well.

Trying to train a back to set up his move is the tough part. Everyone wants to dance around. Hit the hole when it opens and read the block.

Learning to read the kind of contact a engaged guard gets, reading the lead block's helmet in his contact approach, and seeing the man at the second/third level you need to defeat if the first two items are sealed are things a back has possess a good measure of.

You can cultivate a sense of that, and help them act on such singals in real time, and make an average player solid in the game plan.

A kid with that innate breakaway gear and instinct will take that kind of info, and process it within game speed in live gear, takes it to the next level.
