Scoot to Reach: How to block wide zone

Scoot to Reach: How to block wide zone

Description

Wide zone is a great play that requires a commitment to make it a productive play! Learn how to reach block and pick up defensive movement and pressures by staying square to the line of scrimmage using "scoot" footwork (a.k.a. square drag) & overlap double teams. This course outlines the coaching points, drills, and in game application of the techniques needed to block wide zone. Defenses are going to defend the wide zone with E/T's, T/E's, pirate stunts and all sorts of games to create penetration!   Square is strong on the line of scrimmage and using scoot footwork enables blockers to reach a shaded and or a wide defender, cover him up and get movement. The scoot technique is used by the whole offensive line- covered & uncovered, reducing teaching time and increasing reps. Also, learn how to use the backside hand as a "pillar" to play long and create separation from defenders.
