DEFIANCE COLLEGE COACHES CLINIC
“The Zone Running Game” Keith Grabowski [email protected] (440)930-7461
“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 don’t care if you run wishbone, the wingt, 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: 3. 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 • 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 TD’s
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 TD’s 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
Cutup lanes will open for the Back.

Our Teaching Progression • 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

Outside Technique
12
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.

Head-up Technique OL should know the % of him coming inside is now greater.

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.

“The Zone Running Game” Keith Grabowski [email protected] (440)930-7461
“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 don’t care if you run wishbone, the wingt, 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: 3. 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 • 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 TD’s
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 TD’s 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
Cutup lanes will open for the Back.

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

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.
