      Part 1: Why Go Wide

      Let me start off by saying, I am not here to give you a bunch of fluff.  I don’t want to tell you stories or waste your time with anecdotes and jokes.  My goal here is to provide a no frills, gimmick free, easy to read, and easy to apply system that you can apply right now into your offense.  Everything will be straight forward, detailed in an efficient manner, and discernable for practical application.

      There a many different offensive schemes to choose from these days. One of the great things about the wide zone, is its ability to fit into any offense.  It can be run from any personnel group and any formation.  However it is this versatility that will typically get teams into trouble when trying to incorporate this play into what they want to do offensively.  Teams want a piece of wide zone, but do not want to commit to what it take to truly be successful at it.  To put it frankly, you will not have enough time in the day to effectively run wide zone as a piece of an offense already full of plays.  But if you are ready to trim down what you do, and get to work on making this your base run scheme you will quickly see that you may never be behind the chains again!

      The wide zone is designed to be an off tackle play that does NOT take any losses!  We want NO negatives in the run game.  While the passing game will have successes and failures, as is its nature. The run game cannot allow this.  You want a system in which you always gain something, even on the bad plays.  You want a system that has an answer for anything the defense can throw at you, without having to call a different play.  The if/then conundrum can happen live because your players will have the answers built into the play itself. It’s a play in which stunts, slants and alignments make no difference, your players will have the answer, no need for playing the, if they do this, I’ll call this game. 

      Blocking the wide zone is very easy in concept, but requires a lot of patience, discipline, and repetitions.  So why commit to something that takes so much effort in order to run correctly?  Let’s see why:

      It’s safe

      You are blocking a zone instead of a man, or a gap.  Each zone is accounted for by the adjacent lineman.  The lateral movement of the offensive line eliminates penetration by the defensive line.

      It is effective against stunts and pressures.  Because the zones move laterally you will find that stunts and blitzes are picked up naturally by your blockers.  This makes blitzing extremely dangerous for the defense.  Once the stunt is picked up, the runner is up and in the secondary!  There is no DB in the nation that likes to see a free running ball carrier bearing down on them.

      No 1st level penetration.  The lateral movement by the offense means that the defense line also has to move lateral or risk being overtaken.  An up field step by the down lineman results in being cut off from their assigned gap.  The use of double teams up front also forces the DL to choose; flow, or be cut off.

      It forces the defensive front to be disciplined

      The flow of the offense forces lineman and linebackers to maintain gap integrity and flow with the play.  If just one man is not fast enough or is too fast you will have running lanes open for the ball carrier. 

      It places defenders into conflicts

      The linebackers are taught to flow and pursue... yet doing so will cause them to get washed by the play as it cuts up behind them.  The backside LBs are taught watch the cut back... but this is a cut UP play.  They will hang back and be cut off by the climbing OL.

      The defensive line is taught not to get reached.  They fight outside and the play will cut up behind them.  If they try and jump inside to stop the cut up by the back, the back takes an outside path and the offense captures the edge.

      The secondary will be forced to make plays in the run game.  This naturally puts them in a huge conflict with their assignment.  Do they play safe and let the ball carrier chew up yards? Do they come up to support the run game and give up the pass?

      It takes
