John Reagan - Inside Zone

Unlock the secrets to a powerful, downhill run game with this offensive line clinic on Inside Zone (or what the speaker calls "Gut" or "Dive")!

What You Will Learn:

• The Mindset of Vertical Movement: Discover why the emphasis is on inside vertical movement to create a "vertical wall" that the running back can hug.
  2
• Creating Double Teams: Learn the system for creating double teams on the offensive line wherever possible, and how to teach the running back to read these combinations for an A-gap-to-A-gap attack.
  3
• Consistency and Simplicity: See why minimizing variables and using simple, playside gap rules allows the offensive line to master the technique through repetition. The speaker achieved tremendous success with this approach, running straight Inside Zone nearly a thousand times and having only 24 negative plays.
