Diamond Wide Zone Lead

I don’t know if there is a better coaching duo in the Country for Wide Zone than Scott Satterfield and Dwayne Ledford. They were able to transform Louisville’s offense in 2019 and Wide Zone was a staple play. Unlike most Stretch, Outside Zone or Wide Zone Schemes — you will consistently see Louisville run to the two-man surface (away from the TE). But, they are still able to create additional gaps with H-Backs and Fullbacks.

  • Diamond Formation

  • Wide Zone to the Field

  • LT is responsible for the C-Gap (Work to the 5 Technique, but keep moving to the Overhang Defender if the DE spikes to the B-Gap)

  • H-Back is responsible for the Frontside B-Gap

  • LG & C Work Double to Climb from the 2i Nose Up to the Sam LB

  • Backside Cutoff

  • Fullback Protects vs. Hard Bend by the 9 Technique

The Left Tackle and H-Back are working together to handle C & B-Gaps. The H-Back reads the block of the LT, the RB will read the path of the H-Back. Great play to run to an open B-Gap!
