Q1 how many of you use Shifts in your Offense if so how do you set them up? #zonefballchat
LCGrizzlyFB May 11 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A1) Haven't used shifts much but planning too with our H back this year. #Zonefballchat
CoachBLedesma May 11 @ 8:22 PM EDT

#zonefballchat we use various shifts/tumbles to outflank or confuse a def. will also do so for eyewash to dress up a base play.

Q3 does anyone tie Jet sweep into their zone if so how? #zonefballchat

A3: either as the Wide Zone play (with or without Pin block) or as Ghost motion in front/behind IZ #zonefballchat
LCGrizzlyFB May 11 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A3) We do, will run motion to hold DE when we feel like he want to run. #Zonefballchat

A3 con't: called it IZ ghost (run IZ, fake sweep) or IZ Casper (fake IZ run Sweep) - bc Ghosts aren't real but Casper is! #zonefballchat
