Takeaways
Wide zone and inside zone are effective run schemes that can be run by any team, regardless of size or athleticism.

Running backs should read the first down lineman outside the tackle and make their cut on the fifth step.

Offensive linemen should focus on being decisive and getting vertical, blocking defenders on the angles they find them.

The quarterback's role is to hold at least one defender and make the correct reads and fakes.

Game planning and adjustments are crucial in running the wide zone effectively. Wide zone and inside zone are the primary running plays for the team.

The gallop technique is used to keep offensive linemen square and maintain leverage in the inside zone play.

Communication and coordination among offensive linemen are crucial for successful zone blocking.

Pistol formation provides flexibility and makes it harder for the defense to anticipate the direction of the run play.
