Falcons outside zone and play action full slide protection

 The Falcons in 2016 had one of the best offenses in NFL history. They ran a great package wit their outside zone/stretch play and play action off it.

First the outside zone was very effective which made the play action game go.

Outside zone below

12 personnel with te flexed

Patriots in Bear front

Vs Bear they run the play action a few players later. Outside zone fake and hit Jones on the dig on the 2 man pattern.

Run play

One of my favorite plays is their play action pass game off the outside zone. 

It was an effective play because they:

1. ran the ball so well

2. Got a great horizontal push and really sold the run action.

3. The slice block was able to get on the defensive end and log him whenever possible. If he got upfield the TE would just kick him out.

Play action off it vs the Patriots in the Super Bowl

Great fake buck route into the window.

Again notice the 3 man vertical pattern.

Nice route wide open down field!

The wide zone fake freezes everyone. TE does a good job slide protection.

Heres the same concept under center.

 The DE gets upfield so the TE kicks him out.

Good fake with the 8 man protection. 

Excellent corner route

Here's the route concept with the protection.

vs the Bucs,

Same action and hit #2 off the wheel route.

Nice fake get the H back on the DE.

good fake wide open on the nice pattern.
