Brother CMD dropped a great analysis of what coach Weaver might bring to our D in Club

Here is some of his work in the past

Outside Zone​


Outside Zone - Strong - Lead:​













In outside zone, the blocking rules are taught based on the position of the defender in the play side gap next to an offensive lineman. If there is somebody in your play side gap, that's your guy. If he is closer to you than the offensive lineman towards your gap, that is typically a 1 on 1 block. If he's closer to your play side teammate, your teammate will combo with you until you take over the block. This can be seen in the first clip between the Center and the RG. With a 0 Technique over the Center, he takes him 1 on 1 while the RG makes a gone call and works straight up to the 2nd level. In the 2nd clip vs a 4i, the RG and RT work in tandem doubling the 4i and the RT working up to the 2nd level, opening a lane for the RB.

They will also sometimes pitch the ball to the RB when they have the FB block the first defender outside of the tight end. The intent of the play is to still be able to bounce the ball to the sideline even if a Defense lines their SAM on the ball, the pitch helps guide the RB to the sideline so he doesn't bang it inside.

Outside Zone Strong - 11 & 12 Personnel​








With no FB leading on the play, the combo from the Tackle and Tight End on the strongside defensive end and climb to the 2nd level will be critical for the potential to bounce the run to the outside and pick up big yards. The aiming point for the RB will be the outside foot of the TE. In the 1st clip, the Ravens stunt their DLINE to the weak side in their Bear front and were left short on the play side, creating a big lane. They ran this variation mostly vs Over fronts, as they want to run toward the 3 Technique.

Outside Zone Slice - 11 Personnel​












This variation with the TE sifting to the backside, is designed to cutback just behind the backside tackle's block. If the WILL doesn't stay outside the backside tackle, the cutback lane is huge. You can see the intention of the play in the 1st clip above, with the RB cutting back right off the backside tackle for a solid 7 yards.

This variation can also hit front side, as was the case for a TD in the 2nd clip. The Niners liked to run this play vs both Over and Under fronts.

Outside Zone Strong - 2 TE Front Side













This is another variation that's intended to get the play outside, and you will again sometimes see it with a pitch to the RB rather than a handoff. The two tight end surface gives the offense leverage to outflank the defense. If the defense wants to line up outside of the 2nd TE, the first cutback lane is larger than it typically would be based on alignment.

Outside Zone RPOs


















Getting a +1 for the run call and being able to get the backside tackle involved on the front side with RPOs can create a lot of hesitation from the DE's and opens up their entire playbook. SF will also sometimes make a "lock" call with the backside tackle and guard, and those two will stay locked onto the backside DE and DT if present. This is done as to not worry about backside penetration, especially from a 3 Techniqu

Thank you for the info.

My only question is, why Brian Ferentz? He was so bad as Iowa's OC the admin forced his Dad to get rid of him this offseason.

that's a good question but I wonder if the cap/free agency might cost more turnover than the actual scheme, at least for the 2024 season

Agree, but it could influence the 'type' of player or position(s) targeted from the turnover. For example, I expect X gone regardless of scheme. BJones, I'm unsure.
