Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 4747435, member: 549"] Depends on whether it’s successful or not ;) “[URL='https://archive.ph/D7GC4']How does outside zone work?  Outside zone is a running play on which offensive linemen focus their blocks zones, or spaces on the field, as opposed to specific defenders (which is referred to as man-to-man blocking).[/URL] It calls upon linemen to caravan toward the sideline and push back whichever defenders are in the way. Running backs are asked to look for three options: “bounce” outside, “bang” a cut upfield between the linemen or “bend” on a cutback across the formation. “You need [running backs] who find the lane, put their foot on the gas pedal and get 0 to 10 fast,” ESPN analyst Matt Bowen said.   The scheme can be boom-or-bust. No run play gets stuffed for no gain or a loss of yardage more often, and no run play yields more plays of 20-plus yards. In pursuit of the type of chunk plays that are necessary to win in the modern NFL (more commonly achieved through the passing game), teams have to keep hammering away in search of pay dirt. This is true even for the 49ers, who ran it better than any other team on their way to the Super Bowl. “Outside zone is a war of attrition,” said Dave McGinnis, a longtime NFL coach. “The people who are successful with it are patient.” <- [URL unfurl="true"]https://thisisuconncountry.com/2022/08/the-pro-spread-what-should-you-expect/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
