Dominate Outside Zone Run Game with Pin and Pull - Ed Warinner

Florida Atlantic Offensive Line Coach Ed Warinner takes you through game footage and explains their blocking techniques in depth for their Outside Zone Pin and Pull Play.

Coach Warner has had many stops including Michigan State, Army, Kansas, Ilinois, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Minnesota, and Michigan.

This is a clip from his O-Line Outside Zone Pin & Pull video which is available on Glazier Drive.

 

Many coaches believe that Pin and Pull is not outside zone.  Coach Warinner's take is that it is outside zone with man blocking techniques and properties.

Pin and Pull allows you to get the ball on the perimeter without throwing it.

An advantage of running pin and pull with outside zone is that it is easier for the Running Back to make his read.

Pin and pull declares either the C or D gap for the running back to simplify his read.

Pin and pull has 2 linemen pulling.  The defensive look determines who those pullers will be.

The base rule for the offensive line frontside is "if you have somebody in your inside gap, you block down on him."

The center usually blocks down and the shade and the guard away from playside would be the second puller.
