General Thoughts on teaching
the Inside Zone scheme.
We work on offensive tracks.
Every linemen is gap responsible.
Inside Zone combination is an individual block with
possible help.
If your gap is not threatened by alignment you can work a
stack technique combination block.
Stack Progression:
◦ ID the stack.
◦ Covered lineman use zone technique.
◦ Uncovered lineman will assist and constrict and get
ready for exchange or climb to LB.

General thoughts on coaching the
offensive line when running the
Inside Zone.
Each lineman has a gap responsibility.
Keep your hips on track.
If your gap responsibility is not threatened then
you will work stack technique with partner.
Mentality
◦ Stay on stacks let the LB’s come to you.
◦ Take away the space, stick them on a post and
kick their ass and finish.
Each Offensive Linemen has gap responsibility.
