Football Fundamentals: I-Formation RB Zone/Gap Combo Plays

This is a series of posts with many screenshots from the game. Where it lacks depth, I hope it fills the void. The purpose of this post is to show you the ins and outs of many of the running games available to you, beyond the basics that you can find just about anywhere. I'll point out some of the main features of the drama, but for the most part the diagram will stand on its own without being limited to a brief description. This post is awarded directly to RB for Limited Strong Side Drama (if required). This does not include FB Run or QB Run or H-Back, Wing, TE or WR Run. It also does not contain alternative dramas. They are material for future publications.

Why did I choose the largely deprecated i structure, and how do I hope to use this information? The I-Formation is a classic double spin set that has many advantages over historical football when applied. For offsets, H-backs and more, this is a highly adaptable racing setup that allows you to incorporate almost any racing concept into your structure. And here's the important part: you can watch running games from the i-formation and easily translate them into many modern formations. For example, when changing footwork and potential time in this game, you can use the following:

• Shotgun Run 2-Back (second defender can be FB, H-Back, Wing or Sniffer)
• 1-Back Shotgun QB Run (uses RBK as a combo blocker)
• 1-recoil rifle reading option (Run-Run, Run-Pass or Pass-Run Option tabs replace additional locks.)

Many of today's best attacks often go back to old builds. In the NFL, you can see many of the best offenses using the modern spread concept with the flank concept. This game series does the same where it can (but again acknowledges that alternative packs and fake packs are not included in this post, so they are somewhat limited). Below you can see that every game is locked against two main balanced fronts (4-3 up and down).

In this post, we will see a drama that combines the concept of zones and the concept of people/space.

Combined game Zone/Gap
Fasten and bend your back
Includes zone combinations in pin-and-rebate and rebate patterns. Here we see the back pleat that connects to the inside front. Pins and pleats at the back naturally create a cropped path for the interior area.

Center and bend the pin
This will move the pleat forward and allow the front to shed a little. However, the back is still in the zone and the reeds could have been done the same, with a natural cutout on the inside.

Pins and front pleats

Now the folds are moving towards the front of the formation. This makes the game less likely. This is great against teams looking for areas that tend to fill up with MIKE and WILL as they naturally close out the late game by running into isolation blocks.

Front pins and folds - kick
All previous games used split zones, now we will use kick blocks. This allows the TE to Ark the SS if he continues to play as an additional defender on the run. There is a zoned look, but it puts a lot of emphasis on running forward.

Fix and fold completely

We don't have defenders in the back zone where we're playing right now. This duplicates the transaction at the attack point for the fold.

Connect and disconnect the front
The famous variant of the outer zone, fixed here and demarcated against the formation of tension . Beware of standard pins and cables, TE will attempt to contact EMOL if possible.

Fix and pull out completely
It's hard for the rear of the frame to get the front of the frame to compress and stretch, but it's possible. The use of full pins and pulls limits the reduction of the block at the second level, but adds another pull during attacks.

stretched

AG scheme, but in this case everyone runs out of the area. Here the move is not an attempt to get out of Oz's structure, but rather a forward move in case the defender is positioned in the side space where Oz is. This little hideout can help you get to Sam.

G stretch

Instead of directing the FB to safety, it directs the TE to safety. An external TE release will help expand EMOL to give FB a boost and widen the gap that Stretch G is trying to attack.

g below

Bottom zone, G version. It always blocks the defense and the guy in line of sight, while blocking the rest of the front down and lengthening the rest of the back.

text area

In the fast strike zone TEX, the TE block fell into space, set up an OT pass and kicked EMOL. This helps to quickly seal the edges and pushes the protection inward, creating natural creases along the sides of the court.

Crack-Y zone

If Y and Y are off, Y will first sell the spread at the second level of LB before breaking below OT. FB is responsible for the first DL in EMOL, whether it's a kickout or a double with another OL. A great way to force a dash/spin is to get far back, even in plain sight.

fasten in front

Down G/T, this circuit below will throw and kick first with OLs that don't have DLs in the inside space. This helps limit the problems associated with Technique 2 following G when he strikes.

middle pin down

This allows him to destroy the scheme by making a good move between PSG and S.

Share

A split or home that blocks the back of a Down G is a great way to contain the split flow of backfield and defense. This allowed the PR to move quickly to the second row to close the stern.

Connect and disconnect the front

In the center and back, OL will execute an extended plan. This allows the guard to retreat at any time and can retreat if there is no defender behind the PST. The first dash, the second dash goes to the second level.

Set center down and drag

Similar idea, but now the trailer is on alert. Hit the first train, the second train leads to the second level.
