Art kehoe...zone vs power blocking

[CaneSince4Ever]

Difference between zone blocking & power blocking is where you look for the double teams.. In zone blocking, you look for the double team from the outside-in...in power blocking, you look for the double team from the inside-out. And I sorta agree with Canezum5, that Duke looks to be a better zone runner, but in the FSU game, it didn't matter what blocking scheme we ran, their Jimmies & Joes were just kickin' our tails up front...same thing with Louisville, Rankin just ate Feliciano's lunch as one example.

Did you just use Wikipedia as a reliable source?

Dude, it's a zone blocking explanation. Not a conspiracy on obama being the Antichrist. Miss me with the nitpicking b.s. and for the record, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "reliable" source and anyone who believes there is......is a fogging idiot. So, what was your point again?

Look at you getting all defensive after being asked a simple question. How cute.

Simple question eh? So, what if I answered "yes". Then what? Is that the end? Or are you just trying to save face after looking foolish for posting such a pointless post?

Are you still responding? Seems like it got a bit under your skin, and now you're just a bit upset. You can keep on responding to my pointless posts though. While you're at it you should inform Coach Coley about finally getting on your good side I'm sure it means a lot to him.

Typical

It has been my uunderstanding that we are a zone blocking scheme but the guys on the OL are better suited for power blocking.

Whatever the case may be, our running game looked very different to me in the Vag Tech game. We went straight at them. We didn't run any stretch or other slow developing run plays. If I remember correctly we didn't ask our guards to do much pulling. It seemed to me it was just straight forward smashmouth football.

I don't know if it was zone or power blocking but I do know that it differed from what we usually do and that it worked. We literally inflicted our will upon Vag Tech. We smacked them right in the mouth from the get and they had no answer. Yes Duke is a truly gifted player and a transcendent talent but our OL straight up dominated.

The plays with pulling guards are the power plays. Rarely do you ever pull in zone schemes. And how in the **** can we have a power blocking o-line when we don't have a center strong enough to hold the point of attack? Power blocking is much more physically demanding on the o-lineman. We have a zone blocking o line coach and a zone blocking line with backs that are better suited for the zone scheme.


And whoever said that fsu game blocking schemes wouldn't have mattered is a fool. Duke was 3 yards from the century mark. We were blowing fsu off the ball. Pruitt adjusted and we didn't. When pruitt brought more in the box we should have went to zone blocking because it's almost impossible to gain a short yard with power plays because McDermott isn't strong enough. If we zone blocked that play duke got hurt on he sneaks through the gap for a first down. Instead he has to wait for the pulling guard who gets clogged in the hole and both lineman,all600+ pounds, land on duke and snap his ankle.


If we adjusted like fsu did duke stats healthy,IMO. It wasn't fsu talent that beat us last year. Their staff made adjustments and ours didn't. We could've made that game more competitive

Duke is perfect for zone blocking schemes, so is yearby. Zone blocking creates huge cut back lanes. You have to see it and hit it fast. And the difference between power and zone is Power before the play starts you are responsible for a certain guy. In Zone you block in a certain direction, any defender that's in your area after the snap is who you block. I don't think any team run strictly one type of scheme anymore. But our main play is that stretch play and has been since the day Golden got the job.

Also I thought we have been running a zone blocking scheme and it hasn't been all that successful because our personnel was more suited for a power running style.

No, other way around my man. Louisville game we ran a lot of power blocking, duke got hurt last year against fsu on power blocking. Arthur brown killed us a few years back because of too much power blocking. Manti teo ate us alive because of it and burgess jr ripped Dallas Crawford head off twice in the bowl game due to power blocking. Kehoe can coach both schemes but he thrives in zone and with the style of rbs we get in Sofia they thrive as well. I can almost guarantee that duke does not get hurt against fsu last year if we zone blocked that play. I can give plenty of examples. I been arguing with kehoe haters since he got back to um cuz I understand what it's supposed to look like thanks to my bf and his dad who played and coaches o-lines for 20+ years

Art has had to coach the way Al wants. Al brought him back from **** and no way Art will even think about going against him. Al wants a NE/mid west defense and that requires smash mouth power run game. Neither is Miami dna that, if for no other reason, has domed Al to failure. Thursday did look so much more like our style. Even Gus looked good--he is no power runner either. There is reason Art put so many linemen in the NFL and it is not because he sucks. Not like THE U was known for oline before him.

There two types of run blocking, zone and man. That's it. If you block zone, you block a zone and whoever the man shows up in it, man you have a specific man.
Period.
Idiots.

Anton trying to get people to think he's NJtoFl.

 

[Fightinibis]

What is this guy talking about? Just a term "they" use? If you mean people that understand zone blocking then I guess your right.

I've seen this style of posting before on CS. This guy posts exatly like CDwrong......

Lmfao...God, you had to say it....that is an indictment for sure.
From the throw the **** and see if it sticks school of expertise.

UM

 

[Canezum5]

Kehoe is a beast. as long as the playcalling is good he will have a dominant o-line.

Guys got to give him props. It literally boils my skin for idiots to call for his head based upon the coordinators stupidity.

glad guys are seeing how much of an asset he really is.

For us to lose all of thes o-lineman and still get good push is just remarkable.

So we changed o line blocking too recently? Hmmmm
