Robbnva Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Do you think Redskins should switch to a Zone type like the Broncos? Would this hurt or help a new QB learning the system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Zone blocking is great for slashers. Which is good for Portis. Right now they are playing a drive blocking scheme which isnt good for the players that we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFan Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I'd think that would be an off-season type of change. I bet Portis would love it if they switched though. TheFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCsportsfan53 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 how bout they just open a freaking hole for once so that Clinton isn't trying to shake tacklers before he gets to the los? Clinton can run any type of running play, there just aren't many holes and when there are, they aren't big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uno Mas Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 The Broncos choose their linemen very carefully. In order to run that type of scheme, they have to be very atheletic. The Broncos offensive linemen are below average in size but make up for it in atheleticism. I may be wrong but I dont think our line is capable of executing the scheme.

Darth Tater Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 DCsportsfan53, A top 10 run game, top 5 in average per attempt? How can you say they're not opening up many holes AND the ones they do are small? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the type of zone blocking. If it's based on the three levels of zone that run paralell to the line of scrimmage, (line, line backer and secondary, 1, 2, 3, accordingly) I think it might be a good thing. If however it is based on the perpendictular gaps or lanes I think it wouldn't be any different then what is going on now. That is poor execution and missed blocks at the point of attack. What's more important than any thinking our o-lineman have to do is execute the fundamentals. They aren't getting low enough. They aren't fire-ing out quick enough (run blocks). They aren't moving thier feet (pass blocking). They aren't maintaining leverage advantage. Do those things first before you worry about changing any blocking assingments.
