One of the better explanations of the difference.

I appreciate it! Two of my favorite plays.

Best explanation I’ve seen so far

[@WideZoneWarriors]

I appreciate that! I’m very passionate about them being different plays.

​@Coach_DDavidson I agree I think the easiest difference for me to notice is when you called out lineman stepping in unison the same direction at the snap vs duo where not everyone moves same direction at snap.

we ran inside zone like a mf at Brevard College when I went. when we did it the back read play side B and could bend it back to the backside A based on the action and blocks. Also as a guard. if youre backside you arent reach blocking you are washing anybody in backside A into the pile.

I teach mine to try and get them cut off, which is similar to reach technique. Say we’re running it to a 3 and the BSG has a 1, he’ll get help from the C, but not much because the C has to combo up to the play-side LB. If the Guard can’t get the 1 cut off quickly, then that’s when he washes him down is what I teach mine. I really want the 1 cut off because the back-side tackle is climbing to the back-side LB, and we’re reading the back-side DE. If the RB has to bend it behind the 1, the read man can force a give and still make a play if the RB doesn’t read it fast enough and get downhill. That’s just my philosophy though, and I always enjoy hearing what others do! Thanks for sharing.
