All of this was started at my daughters softball teams cookout when a fellow father struck up a conversation! Anyway, great podcast at the perfect time. Your videos and your responses to my emails have shaped me as a coach to be a beacon in our community. Kenny, like i said last year, I believe I am developing an Arkansas accent with the amount of content of yours I consume with these podcasts! Thank you guys

Early zone blocing schemes were too simple, thus useless. Current day zone schemes are very well designed,. Thanks again for explaining these difference to a long time footballer.

    I run the wing T with my youth team and am looking to install some zone blocking scheme this year now that they are older and more experienced. Have you incorporated zone blocking into your standard plays? For example, we run a 24 power with the FB lead blocking (we use "power" to let the kids now there is a lead blocker) and it seems to me you can use zone blocking even though the play is designed for a specific gap. Or would this just simply an inside zone play call?

    • @kennysimpson6282
