About this video
Baldwin Wallace College offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Keith Grabowski breaks down the inside zone running game out of multiple formations and personnel groups. The strength of the system is consistency: because the line rules stay the same across every variation of the play, Baldwin Wallace players can line up in a dozen different pictures and still play fast and aggressive. Coach Grabowski covers the fundamentals first, then shows how the same rules survive the formation changes.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is covered?
The Baldwin Wallace inside zone running game - fundamentals, combo blocks, gap responsibility, landmarks and reads, the tailback's six-second rule, and how the play is run from multiple formations and personnel groups.
Is this for line coaches or backfield coaches?
Both. The blocking teaching is aimed at the offensive line, while the landmarks, reads and the six-second rule are running back coaching points.
Why does it emphasize multiple formations?
Because the line rules never change. Coach Grabowski's point is that identical rules across variations are what let players cut it loose instead of thinking through each new look.
