I realize we can't install a Zone Blocking Scheme at this point. I also realize the ZBS goes against what Tice wants to do, and what he believes. But lets face it, the power running game that Tice wants, is not working.
From what I've read, the ZBS calls for smaller, quicker, more athletic lineman...with that said, we would need to change some of the personnel on the OL. I know changing a scheme, and finding Olineman to run that scheme isn't as easy as snapping your fingers but I believe it would be worth it in order to play to the strenghts of Jay, and Forte in particular.
Forte behind a ZBS would allow him to see a hole, and hit it. Forte has great vision and is a monster when he gets to the second level. I think the OL all flowing together in a single direction would allow Forte to be a one cut runner which is when he's at his best imo.
Jay is great on the move, and would benefit from all the play action, and bootleg opportunities the ZBS creates. Jay is a mediocre QB when he sits in the pocket reading defenses. Too often Jay gets manipulated by secondaries, which isn't how it's supposed to work. The ZBS would create plays that highlight Jay's athleticism, and the chemistry that he, and Marshall have would be hard to stop.
Thoughts?
