It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Look for AllWorldTE's posts in this thread, he seems to have the best analysis to date...It's really hard to tell what blocking scheme from the sideline camera, but when they had the camera directly behind the offensive line on some replays it was obvious they were zone blocking on those replays... did we exclusively use zone blocking during the game?
Zone blocking vs. Man Blocking is going to be very hard, if not impossible, to differentiate on camera in most cases.
Not at all.
Then you're much better an analyzing plays than I do. In the case of the Alex Gibbs scheme, it's obvious because the O-lineman are clipping the D-lineman, but, IMO, in the way the Patriots are going to play it, unless there's an obvious cut-back by the RB, I don't see how you're going to differentiate between the two. For example, on a run off-tackle, Mankins pulls left and takes out the Defensive End. Short of reading minds, I don't see how you know whether he's blocking the DE because that was his assigned man to block, or if that was the body who popped up in the zone he was responsible for.
I'd love an education fpr how to tell. I'm all for learning new things.
Unoriginal, five stars aren't enough for this contribution; I give it six.
