Zone Blocking Scheme....

Folks, if you want to be an informed Bucs fan, read this peace about zone blocking. While there are several differences in a college and pro zone scheme, the fundamentals are the same. If you don't know, this is what Coach Jags is implementing in Tampa and also laying the zone calls on the quarterback (instead of the C) to make. Faine is ticked about this.

I posted this at TN

but great article. I knew most of that, but found some tidbits that really helped. This is a scheme that generally doesnt come overnight, but i would like to think our OL are intelligent and athletic enough to grasp the concept and run with it.

Maybe...

It does concern me that whoever our quarterback is going to be is going to bear the weight of calling the zones though. I understand the idea, but with an inexperienced or overwhelmed quarterback, its just one more thing he is going to be calling in the huddle.

We do have a descent line, even with Sears (which may be a blessing in disguise) being gone. They are ‘mostly’ athletic and big guys, but this is going to be new to a lot of them.

I do think Ward fits very nicely in

this scheme though.

Zone Blocking rocks!

I live in Denver and have had the chance to watch this in action for like 10 years now. Ward and Graham are more talented than anything Denver has had since Clinton Portis, and Denver has repeatedly turned marginal RBs into 1000 yrd rushers. Atlanta runs this scheme and you see what they’ve done (Jagz helped them implement this as an assistant coach under the Zone Blocking guru Alex Gibbs). I think our QBs are intelligent enough for this, after all they had to learn Gruden’s terminology. It also frees the QB up a little for having to carry the whole load (we’ll be “run first”). We are going to hand off…ALOT this year and in the future. I’m jazzed about the new sceme
