Funny part is I'm only 24.

ooops

Im just saying my head coach was old as dirt. Wing T still wins around here. 1 losing season in 30+ years.

Sure you have. I read all your posts. I just haven't spoken back.

Good post. The Wing T is so effective for two reasons.

1. There is a lot of deception.

2. The use of ZBS.

It used to crack me up when people would make fun of running such a "prehistoric offense," when in actuality, the offense is very complex and innovative. I am not saying that it would work in the pros, because it would not, but the blocking schemes are still used by many ZBS's today.

And you might be surprised, bro. Make a thread about it. I bet you get a lot of the "old guard" chiming in. There are quite a few of us who like to learn and teach.

You must remember how we used to have discussions like that once in awhile. I remember making a thread about the ZBS several years back. Many posters contributed their knowledge, even if they had to research articles to do it. That was great! Others asked really good questions. It was one of the best threads ever because of how there wasn't any BS agenda crap and people were just interested in learning new things and sharing what they did know.

Give it a shot, bro. We'll help you out.

I am not sure what kind of blocking my old high school used. coach didn't bother explaining things to the meat. I am pretty sure is was a type of zone blocking though because we just attacked whatever shoulder of the rusher that was closest to the QB to force them to the outside and around. We never used a FB but our HBs had to block for each other at times when we used a split HB formation.

That's it Tex.There's a beauty in it's simplicity.
Teaching oline play to young kids would have to be very difficult,but those "rules" should make it easier.
Don't mean to be a dick but,those rules are for FSG on a dive;
Gap
Post, man over setup for double team
Drive,double down on a nose,center will post.
If I may,"Down" took on a entirely different meaning with us.
Technically,to execute a proper down block the first step is with the inside foot at a 45 degree angle.That sets the coarse.
The shouts of down,down,down meant we going smashmouth,specifically power,where the frontside G,T and TE rules are,down,down,down.The linemen loved it.
We would continue running power,power,trap until the other team stopped it,or it was time for us to work on our spread plays.

Not being a dick at all.

I appreciate the reponse.

Yeah it is hard to teach youth kids line play... the hardest is the first read... especially if they have a man in front... the natural tendency is to take him not a guy in the inside gap.

Course being a D guy this technigue is easy to beat by moving the Dline in or out and stacking the LB's to overload a part of the line... and then slant ruch... that really confuses them on who to block.
