What playbook has a lot of zone runs

[Jsan915]

IMO the zone run plays have the best blocking. I use GB playbook but I only found 2 zone runs maybe 3.

Im guessing Houston or Washington.

Houston. thats their whole run scheme

Idk about zone running this year, I use the Texans/Texans playbook most of the time, and Im mainly a runner, but for some reason, I usually gain 2/3 yards per carry, with like, a random break of like 15/20 every once in a while
Though, that does kinda pretty much sum up how the Texans running works lol.
Chiefs do it too btw.

If we're being honest, I don't really think this game has zone running :P

All I use is the Houston offense, and it just looks like straight up angle blocking to me. Occasionally it seems like they accidentally "zone block," (i.e., railroad tracking or uncovered double teams) I'm sorta cynical on this one, but I'm just assuming there's 1 standard coding for how lineman block on run plays: go get the nearest guy, haha.

It would be really nice to see this in the future though. Real angle blocking that follow lane rules, and real zone blocking plays. Hell, I'd love to some day even be able to designate my running zone, or for angle blocks, designate a gap at the line. Centers and QB's constantly get to the line now, spot a new angle of attack, and tell the lineman and back to hit the 3 instead of the 2.

I'm with Matt, I really dont notice a difference in the technique the OL use. I will say that zone running is a lot more effective, especially for outside runs, but I dont know why given that the blocking appears the same.

How cool would it be to have your whole offensive line follow you to the outside on a zone stretch run like the Texans, I would be exhilarated.

Thats why I still play All Pro. It's those little things.
