About this video
Plenty of offenses run both zone and gap schemes and end up teaching two unrelated run games. Baldwin Wallace College offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Keith Grabowski shows how his staff created real synergy between the two instead. By teaching technique that carries over from zone to power, Baldwin Wallace fielded a multiple running game with very few adjustments - which is what kept the offense aggressive and physical rather than cautious.
