    Found this the easiest method to understand inside zone. Thanks coach

    Good video. Thanks. I played DB/LB growing up, so I never understood the OL. This makes sense. It's simple but it can be very hard depending on the personnel.

      No worries! I played QB my whole life and never really understood OL scheme until I tried to explain it (and realized I knew essentially nothing 😅).
      Teaching is always the best method of learning! Gotta find that knowledge gap as quick as possible!

    I know its more common to run IZ to the 1 tech, I’ve always found it easier to the 3. Thoughts?

      I think running to the 1 tech works great when you want to get more vertical push (when uncovered you help backside teammate).
      If you want more lateral flow I can see how running to the 3 tech could be easier to create the cut back using opposite rule...(if uncovered, help playside).
      Both work though. In college we Auto checked every IZ to the 1 tech. I don't do that in my offense though. I teach the OL to be able to do both.

    Coach, awesome video! thank you! I have 1 question that I'm hoping you can answer for me.
    When helping backside (center helping with a 2i or 1), what is the rule if the play side 3 tech slants A gap? Does that play side guard have to stay man on him? Obviously not letting him cross his face is ideal but it's a question I've always had.
    Thanks again coach!

      I've always handled it by having the PSG be responsible for that. First step would be with the inside foot rather than the playside foot to help prevent that exact issue. RBs should also be aware of this as well so they can anticipate.
      And if you face a team that regularly slants **and it's giving you problems** then you can consider just adding a tag to help playside on occasion or switch your "base rule" for that game to help playside.

    how come you prefer helping backside vs frontside before climbing? I'm a frontside guy but have been thinking about this tweak lately

      In 2016 I watched a lot of Mt. Union (D3) tape and saw their rules...they helped playside. It gave a ton of lateral flow and essentially forced a cutback. When paired with Outside Zone, those two compliment each other well. And after seeing them win a national championship, I tried it out and switched to that and we used that in the Maple League with the Crocs.
      That went well for us, but I've since discovered Duo (and started to major in it) and changed my blocking rules for OZ, so 1) the more vertical push from the OL you get from helping the backside of IZ compliments better with Duo and 2) we're not getting the same lateral flow on OZ that I used to teach so the first 2 steps don't look the same anymore so now they aren't as complimentary.

      @@americanfootballacademy1741 ah okay, so if you weren't running Duo you'd still probably be a help frontside guy?

      ​@@LivingforaLiving That plus the different style OZ I use. Both are important factors.
      But yeah, take away those two major things and I would probably sprinkle that in again. Also doesn't have to be 'we help playside always'..but switch it up based on gameplan. There may be teams where you can just bully and going with the vertical movement is the better choice.
      Sorry for the bouncing around answer...I just think it depends on other factors in the offense and the defense your playing so a blanket answer never really solves the problem.

      @@americanfootballacademy1741 hell yeah for sure.. it's a completely nuanced question/answer. I like that idea of it changing with some teams that you can bully vs the more logical type of approach. Never thought about it like that.
      Appreciate you bro, this was a very beneficial convo for me as I'll most likely implement this idea in the future
