You have to have a little crazy in you to be great at this brutal game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexGreen#20 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 What I find really interesting about these discussions is, are we about to become an even more zone heavy team on percentages? Of the 12 called runs against the Seahawks, 9 were zone runs and 3 were power runs. Admittedly 3 of what I've classified zone runs had pulling lineman that's traditionally more aligned with power blocking, but if the other three lineman are zone-stepping, I would consider that a zone run.

Not necessarily.............................. Depends on whether the RB followed the pulling lineman on those three runs you've considered zone runs. If the RB did, then you had 6 zone runs and 6 power runs......which I believe is what they call a balanced attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the pulling means is that you're trying to hit the second level defenders to the outside rather than catch them between the tackles on the second level. Hard for me to call anything power blocking when there are no combination blocks or double teams being called for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the math much simpler too What does the RBs movement have to do with anything? By that metric, if you're running an outside zone to the right, and the first TE wins his block then that is a power run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
