Ben Davis High School Offensive Coaching Staff
• Mike Kirschner – Head Coach –Offensive Line• Justin Faires – Runnings Back Coach – Special
Teams Coordinator• Chad McCarthy – Offensive Line• Brian Abney – Offensive Line• Mark Bruce – Tight Ends• Brock Vanderbush – Quarterbacks• Kyle Mullins – Wide Receivers• Alex Kirby – Offensive Skill Assistant
Why Inside Zone• It fit our personnel• Gave our Offensive Line a set of rules they
could apply to any front• One scheme that allowed our skill players
the flexibility to display talents• Allowed us to utilize an athletic QB• Staff knowledge of the scheme led to us
installing the scheme
Structure of Offense• Two Back Offense is our origin• 54% of shotgun time was in 2 backs• Wanted a system that could transfer to
a one back look without inventing a new offense
Call System• Two Numbers – Indicates Run or Pass• First Number is the play type • Second Number is the action• Tag – Scheme
• Example: 24 Zone (Give Zone to RB 4 Hole)• Example: 64 Trail (Play Fake Zone run Trail)
Offensive Line Splits
• Splits – Max 2 foot split– Splits will vary based on speed of offensive
line and ability level– More determined by the ability and takeoff of
defensive line
Offensive Line Rules
• Rules– Covered
• You are considered covered if you have a player head up on you to adjacent neighbor playside
– Uncovered• You have a defender that is an inside shade or
second level
Inside Zone – Covered vs. Uncovered

Offensive Line Covered Steps
• First Step – Covered– Aim body to playside number (target)– Defines track
• Second Step– Square to target, maintain base
• Attack Target on 3rd Step
• Do Not Chase Target
Offensive Line Uncovered Steps
• First Step – Uncovered– Lateral Step (Close the gap)– Not an attacking step (account for looper,
blitzers)
• Second Step– Climb vertically to nearest 2nd level LB
• Do not chase
Offensive Line – Inside Zone
• Uncovered becomes covered:– LB shows blitz pre-snap– Defensive Line movement
• Decisions are made based on pre-snap• React to what happens post snap• Don’t over coach this play• Commitment to it makes it successful
Inside Zone – QB
• Read – Read 1st Defender outside the OT post snap– Work opposite the defender
• Keys– Read Key
• 1st Defender outside the OT post snap– Pitch Key
• 1st Defender second level outside of read key

landmark)

covered
Inside Zone RB

point with QB– Take belly button to the football– DO NOT TAKE THE BALL!!!!!
