strong side

[Mentallyaware]

everyone knows the run game opens up the passing game. Curious, who's the top o-line and what side is the strongest, right or left. I ask because field position is very important in the run game. Also, are we using multiple running backs in the run game, or sticking to one dominate back. please respond.

Left side...RB by committee with excellent depth...

There is zero doubt the side with Mayginnes and Walker is the strong side. Load it up with that 275 lb TE we signed and run til the cows come home.

Rosy interpreted this as “inside zone” for the 10th consecutive 2nd down.

When you hear the term 'Strong Side' mentioned in football, it is referring to the side that the tight end is positioned on. Thus, when you hear them say 'Strong side linebacker', it is referring to the linebacker who covers the tight end. Same thing goes for the safeties. It has nothing to do with the relative strengths of the guards and tackles.

As for which side you run the ball to, it depends on the relative strengths of your opponents D-linemen as they match up with your own O-linemen. All of that changes as players come in and go out, the offensive formation and the defensive formation. Blocking patterns change as the defenders shift. O-linemen have blocking assignments and defenders do everything they can to screw that up and create confusion along the O-line. Coaches make ingame changes based on what they see the other team doing and what they feel will work for them. :thumb:
