Cutup Friday: 2019 49ers Inside Zone Weak - Lead
I went back a few years in the archive for this week’s cutup. The 2019 49ers were the first team I wrote a manual on.
The lead element on inside zone allows the combinations to work more vertically. This is the goal of inside zone, to work vertical.
The offensive line can work more vertically due to the horizontal distance the linebackers have to travel to get to their new gap. the next image shows this against an Under front.
The 49ers liked to call this concept against Odd/Under teams in 2019.
The 49ers don’t run this concept much anymore. It’s usage has gone down significantly.
