Zone blocking scheme outdated?

[Mike]

Here is the cut blocking rule:

Cut blocks can be legal in the free blocking zone, which is the six-yard by eight-yard zone centered on the football. Cut blocks are illegal in the open field. It also is illegal to cut block a player that is already engaged in a block with another player.


Lance Z had some great insight this AM on why we had so many issues Sunday. Part of it was disguising who the Mike LB was, and showing overloads to a different side of the line, causing the protections to slide towards the overload, then bringing the blitzers who were playing games from the other side.
