The zone blocking system will make its comeback to the Mile High city in 2015 and with it poses the opportunity for great success for the Broncos' rushing attack.
Zone blocking is a rather simple concept. In fact, it is self-explanatory. The scheme requires cohesiveness, sound technique and movement skills in order to be successful.
It doesn't mean an offensive lineman plows right ahead into the nearest opposing lineman. What it does mean is that linemen and tight ends are responsible for zones on the field and often play in space aside one another. It can produce more double teams, subsequently moving forward to the next level to shovel off defenders downfield.
