The problem is you're now getting (in the nfl) a lot of double A or reduced fronts with pressure coming from all over. With zone, the rules are a lot easier and you can get your guys more reps for a variety of fronts.


IMHO, the cutback rules killed the outside zone and that's why everyone is struggling to run the ball. You can find success for a while with either belief but its ****ing hard to run the ball now.

Before the cutback rules, Philly with Kelly ran a **** ton of OZ out of the gun (you can tell based on the HB alignment)
You son of a bitch, how are you?

Anyway, when you say "cutback" rules do you mean cutblock?
