2/64

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 dont care

if you run wishbone, the wing-t, 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


3/64

Presentation Goals:

1. 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 the inside zone

for each position.

4. Review our teaching progression and installation plan.

5. Show video cuts illustrating our variations of the play.

40% run efficient

3.44 yards per carry

Only 8 total +12 yard runs in 8 games

32 different run calls used Could not identify a base offense from

what was called


9/64





Started with some questions


10/64

Conclusions about our

run game(03): We have become scheme heavy while sacrificing beingfundamentally sound

Our schemes do not provide us with a sequence ofproblems for a defense.

There is not a logical progression for us. When onescheme does not work we just try something else.

We cannot effectively practice all of the schemes we have.


11/64

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.


12/64






Decided what our philosophy would be


13/64

2004 Offense

1. Attitude - We will attack with a punishingrunning game that destroys the defensive line.

2. We will use spread formations to open up therun & pass.

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


14/64






Decided what our philosophy would be

Decided to change to zone

Researched the zone run game


15/64

Why we use zone run Can be run versus any defensive alignment.

Minimizes effectiveness of a defense that moves byslanting and angling.

Allows emphasis on the aggressive and intense executionof fundamentals and techniques.

Allows us to block the line of scrimmage, denypenetration, and secure movement by using double-team combination schemes. Distorts and displaces the

defensive front.


16/64

Why we use zone run

Can be used in a variety of personnel groups:

Tight End/Split End

Two Back-Two Receiver/TwoBack-Three Receiver

One Back

Shotgun Spread

Allows for personnel match-ups in game plan.


17/64

Why we use zone run

Run game allows toughness to permeatethe team.

High percentage passing game can be builtoff the run.

Provides split end and tight end attack. Do

not need separate schemes for tight side orsplit side.


18/64

Why we use zone run

Simple scheme-allows players to be aggressive.

Many different looks by using the same scheme

allows for many repetitions for linemen and backs. Do not have to be overpowering to have success.

Limits the blitz.

Wears down the opponent.


19/64

Deny penetration and take care of level one.

Ideally we will block the DL into the LB. Worst Case scenario is a stalemate.

Basic Philosophy of the play:


20/64

To secure movement along the line of scrimmage

while accounting for blitzes, stunts, slants, andstems.

To create running lanes for the running back bydistorting and displacing the defense.

To block zone to call allowing for a double teamalong the line of scrimmage.

To force the defense to guess where the ball isgoing to be run, while forcing them to be wrong.

The primary objectives of the play are:

DL Outside Technique (3)

12

Play Direction

Step at 45 degrees with

The outside foot at the

DLs outside #.

Most likely he is outside

Gap responsible, so we

Want a hat on his outside #.


28/64

DL Head Up Technique(2)

12

Step is straight ahead with the

Outside foot at the outside #.

The DL has a 2-way go, but the

OL is outside gap responsible.

If he comes outside the OL will

Still have outside leverage.

If he goes inside, it is not the OLsGap responsibility. He will punch

& go to level 2.

Play Direction


29/64

DL Inside Technique (1)

(Uncovered Pry Technique)

12

Come off the ball with the

Inside foot to the outside #

Landmark. Do not allow

Penetration.

One hand punch until help

From the inside gets there.

Play Direction

This DL technique rarely

Will come across to the

Outside gap, so OL willBe working up to level 2.

TB Coaching Points

No parameters except on down & distancesituations(know how much you need)

1st step is open and 2nd is at landmark. GetShoulders pointed to sideline. Make the LBsmove.

Where the back goes after that is up to him.If you need to be coached a lot,you are not aTB! (YOU MUST HAVE VISION!)

Goal is 3.5 yards minimum every play.

TB Footwork Drill

Purpose: Teach the back to

Make a quick lateral move

(simulate cut behind OL) and

Then burst.

Can vary direction after lateral

Move. Coach can stand at top

Of drill and point, or have a

Player simulate an LB. Other

Variations are to add yards after

Contact moves.

QB Coaching Points

Open at 5 Oclock (7 Oclock to the left).

QBs job is to get the ball to the TB as

deep as possible. QB is always the adjuster.

Receiver Blocking

Playside - Block Man On. Drive him out of

bounds. 2 safety look block near safety.

Backside - Block Near Safety.

Maintain blocks until whistle.

WR Blocks turn a big gain into a TD.

Backside block is just as important; play

may cut back.

Installation of Play

1. Introduce in meeting.

2. Drill techniques for play

3. 1st Group Run & Team periods we will

go against a head up technique that tries tocome straight across. OL will not come off

of double team yet. They will attempt to

drive DL into LB.

I t ll ti f th Pl


54/64

Installation of the Play 4. 1st group & team period it will be the TBs job to beat

the LBs. OL will not come off of combo. TB must press

the line, move the LB and make his read/cut. He shouldrip through the hip socket of any LB attacking him. Wetell the pad holders to give the TB a shot.

5. Now we teach a head-up that moves. One OL will now

take the block over and the other step off to level 2 LB.We still want them working the block up to level 2 andstepping off when the LB is to them. We want 4 hands onthe DL and 4 eyes on the LB. We will put cones out toindicate when they should step off to LB.

6. 2nd Day of Group and Team we will have the DL move& we will step off to LBs.
