In a man run blocking scheme the RB is given a hole to run to and each blocker is assigned a man and which direction to block him in. In other words everyone knows where the play is going and block accordingly.
In a zone scheme you block the man in your area and take him
whichever way you can. The RB picks a hole based off the blocking.
Outside zone scheme is when you prefer to run wide and block it like zone.
But the difference in running wide is the RB has a lot of E/W territory to cover so he cannot hestitate to read the blocks, but since it is more in the open field he has more time and space to read them. Successful outside runs are always out running the defense to the edge. You can’t afford to hesitate because pursuit will catch up. The other difference with the outside run is as soon as the ball is pitched or handed off every player on the defense is running to the point of attack, and since you are running to the edge cutting back brings you right into the flow of the pursuit.
Every team runs all of these schemes but favors some over others. The patriots are heavily a man blocking run team.

Ah okay, so that's starting to make sense. Someone just posted a vid that mentioned Henderson came from a college program that ran a lot more wide zone, so he had to develop the sense to play more N/S, quick-to-the-hole man-blocking run game. So if the Patriots are running that run concept the most, truly I guess the last thing Henderson needs is patience. If anything, it's continue to sharpen vision to know which hole to hit & continue to get used to a man-block run game.

And I guess hope the OL improves on their game from last year.

I am very encouraged about the OL. LT will be improved with Campbell in year 2. LG will be excellent it AJT stays healthy. C will be much better. I expect Lomu to take over at RT by the end is the season and improve that too but he can also step in at both G and T spots if there is an injury.
We could very likely be at least average or above average at all 5 spots

Hope this ends his career. Dude sucks now.
