Question for all the football guru's on here -


Nov 13, 2016, 8:39 PM

Is there some kind of rule change in the past few years that prevents a team from using a fullback/blocker in the backfield? I know it's not revolutionary, but it does make a difference. I know that we use two TE's sometimes.

No, no rule change - it's just that mose teams......

There's no rule against it. In Clemson's scheme the tightend is in the backfield and is called an H-back or 3-back. Sometimes he becomes the lead blocker on a play, sometimes a pulling guard is, & other times a tackle will pull down for a trap. The difference in what you're seeing now though is the zone-blocking scheme that Clemson uses. It's based more on timing as to when a guard or tackle on the side the run is going to will break off of a double team block to get to the linebacker level for the lead or "seal" block ahead of the RB. Also, they will slide as a group to one side on a run play that's set up as a "stretch" and try to create a cutback lane for the RB. The older I-formation & wishbone "lead blocker" style of offense was based on the premise of "gap" blocking which was just the old hat-on-a-hat philosophy and you just try to blow guys off the ball.

Another reason for the difference in our blocking schemes now is how it relates to running all the run-pass options that are part of the offensive scheme.

I hope this helps you with your question.
