Named to the 2021 Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine's '40-under-40' Coaches listMany offenses can lack an identity, but the wide zone run play gives your offense a base run play to hang your hat on.
At every stop in his career, Coach Nick Codutti has installed the wide zone with great success. In this video, Codutti explains how you can make it a staple in your offense arsenal as well.
The wide zone puts defenses in conflict, makes them run sideline to sideline, and has simple adjustments to make it work against any defensive look you will see. In 2022, the Fulshear HS (TX) offense averaged 8.8 yards per carry on wide zone; Coach Codutti and his staff are going to share the secrets on how they did it!
This video features detailed explanations of how the play works while showing multiple video examples of how the intricacies of it all work together.
Offensive Line Play
Coach Codutti's staff will show you how to install this play in a systematic way that allows your offensive line to block it against any defensive alignment or pressure. Because the rules are so simple, they can be applied to every position along the offensive line including your tight ends.
Codutti's staff will walk you through multiple video clips and explain the coaching points on each one of them to you. You will see many different ways you can run the play from multiple looks without any changes to the scheme up front. The four rules of wide zone will be explained using film with multiple examples of how to apply each of them to your program.
Coaching the Backfield
Allow your backs to play fast without thinking using a simple system of 'If/Then' rules. Those same rules can be applied to any ball carrier who runs the play, whether it be a running back, quarterback, or simply a talented player lined up in a Wildcat set that you need to find a way to get touches. Create a one cut run scheme that grinds opponents down and becomes more explosive as the game wears on.
Coach Codutti shows you how you can use this play in multiple ways to stress a defense and begin to build play action boot passes off of it. This video will show you how you can force a defense to play discipline and then use their rules against them to create explosive plays in the run game.
In this terrific video, you will learn the basics that will allow you to master the wide zone and help your team become lethal in the run game!
