A1. We will cut BS or just block it normally
#Zonefballchat

#Zonefballchat
want to cut if we can. Depending on personnel and alignments we bucket cross climb to cut or wall. BST could sift

CoachBehnfeldt

A1: I like to cut if we are going up against even front, just reach vs odd front.

A1: OL responsible for 1st 2 defenders behind the C in their track, BS edge belongs to QB

3 defined steps horizontally down LOS, on 3rd step if you are engaged then lock on, if not work vector to 2nd then 3rd level

A1: Wide Zone only. Don't feel there is enough roll back space in IZ if you cut.

A1) Wide zone, we gap step hinge and block DE with tackle. Everyone else 3 horizontal steps and engage who zone step up.

Q2 who scripts second half plays and if you do how many do you script
#Zonefballchat

Feb 2 @ 8:29 PM EST
A1 Cont) We RPO backside as well as play side is why we block DE.
#Zonefballchat

Feb 2 @ 8:31 PM EST
A2: NO 2nd half script, should know their adjustments and alignments by then. Can go back to 1st half script though.
#Zonefballchat
CoachJohnJensen
Feb 2 @ 8:31 PM EST
A2: usually about 6. Will repeat 1st Alf if doing well. If not, could be off and running crazy.

A2: no script. Last OC i was with was 100% "feel" playcaller within the gameplan. Loved him bc he asked ass't for input tho
#zonefballchat
Coach_Shea23
Feb 2 @ 8:33 PM EST
A2 we decide what we want to do first if we get right field pos. Make adjustments and see what the defense does differently

Feb 2 @ 8:34 PM EST
u don't think it benefits the RPO to leave the BS DE? He crashes, you pull and boot? 1 less defender in play?

A2: No script, but look at successful plays in 1st half to make sure to run them again.

Q3 trick plays what do you have to do to un load a trick play? Spot on field? Situation?
#Zonefballchat
CoachBehnfeldt
Feb 2 @ 8:35 PM EST
A2: no script, we go off feel and make a list of plays we will focus on in the 2nd half during halftime
#ZoneFBallChat
Coach_McKenzie
Feb 2 @ 8:35 PM EST
A2. we did one time and got us back on track in 2nd half...we Scripted about 5 plays I believe

A3 we picked a spot on field 1st play past 50 on left hash
#Zonefballchat
Coach_Shea23
Feb 2 @ 8:37 PM EST
A3 have certain situations where we like particular tricks. Didn't get to run too many this year unfortunately

Feb 2 @ 8:38 PM EST
We pre-snap a backside knife route if no safety on backside half. Read 3rd level defender on postsnap.

A3: my idea of a trick play is PAP...because they need to load and blitz to try and stop run 😈😈😈

A3: Won a big game this year on one, was field position and situation combined.
#Zonefballchat
Coach_McKenzie
Feb 2 @ 8:39 PM EST
A3. most of the time it was after a turnover especially if we were on the + side of the 50

Feb 2 @ 8:41 PM EST
A3 here was one of our favorites. Tackle screen never gets old!
#Zonefballchat
CoachBehnfeldt
Feb 2 @ 8:43 PM EST
A3: usually a special situation in the game or a specific look that we are getting from the defense.
