The Duo run concept is all the rage in high school, college, and professional football. Many coaches have shifted away from inside zone, which requires multiple 1-on-1 base blocks for duo, which is a double combo block on the inside, with two 1-on-1 blocks on the outside.<\/p>\n
With the athleticism being shown from interior DL in the modern era of football, it makes sense to combo up those players (ie. would you want to put an OL 1-on-1 against Ahmad Moten right now?!) and wall off a DE that\u2019s more than likely going to run himself up field anyway (ie. Marquis Lightfoot) with a TE or OT.<\/p>\n
Above- The circled DT\u2019s are the two combo blocks the RG and RT, and C and LG will have to own in order for Duo to work. The combo\u2019s then have one player come off the block to work to the 2nd level (LB\u2019ers).<\/p>\n
The arrows are 1-on-1 blocks. The TE\u2019s (87) just needs to cut off the inside of the C-Gap and stalemate the DE. The BSOT\u2019s block (70) will gap (step right) and hinge (turn out to block) the DE.<\/p>\n
Above- The RB is reading the MLB (31). The paths for Mark Fletcher are bang (PS-A), Bend (BS-A) and Bounce (PS-B\/C).<\/p>\n
Above- In action you can see the blocks forming. Bauman just needs to cut off the inside path, the two combos, and the gap-hinge from Bell.<\/p>\n
Above- With the MLB clearly in the playside A gap, Fletcher has two choices, bounce same side but wider, or bend back. He chooses to bounce which is the right choice. It\u2019ll be him vs a DB unless the OL misses a combo…<\/p>\n
Above- Brockermeyer loses the NT and that\u2019s who clogs up the bounce gap. If he just stalemates that block Fletcher has nothing but a pair of DB\u2019s to beat for an explosive. Instead it\u2019s a 5-yard type of thumper run.<\/p>\n
Above- Different clip, flipped angle on the end zone All-22. If Lyle just hits that wide open gap it\u2019s an explosive run. Instead he hesitates and has to come back to it after a dumb bounce cut which cuts this down to a small gain. But when Duo works up front that\u2019s the hole you get with almost zero push from the OL.<\/p>\n
