  • Too bad this play never works. I'd rather do a power run with tight ends blocking.

  • Great illustration of the zone read. Very effective play with an elusive QB.

  • @kylodriale That's exactly what they should do. If they run up field right away it takes them out of position to make a tackle and leaves open running lanes.

  • I guess I couldn't get by the X's being used for offensive players...

  • @kylodriale that's what the QB of a spread/zone option wants... He hopes that your d end will see him put the ball in the back stomach and go for it. Your week side ends have to play flat on that play or Box... If he does it right he can cause that QB to delay on the read and thus stop the play... Plus it helps us Mike backers by givin us a lil time to get off a block and recover.

  • u know what that was the quickest explaination i ever see about the zone read.. but it was very good!! my lill niece pick it up that quick lol good stuff man !!!

  • I felt I just watched a video on mitosis.

    

  • Hmm, i´m not a football mastermind and also not from the states, but i teach my d-line if they are given a free release to immediately break down and look for the ball.

  • It would be a whole lot better if it was 3 receivers on one side one in the slot and use a screen play after the defense is read in case the de stays home

  • IF only Michigan could keep up with Defense... lol
