[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 891049, member: 4199"] WCO has more to do with passing concepts than running, but really, McCarthy was all in on a zone running scheme. [B][URL]https://www.packers.com/news/mccarthy-run-game-requires-commitment-2452348[/URL] [/B] [I] "The lead zone-blocking scheme is our primary run," McCarthy said. "I've always been a power person in the past, I've always believed in a power play. But through conversations with Jeff and our offensive staff, we felt this better suited our football team. "It's an aggressive downhill style, cutting them on the backside and things like that. It definitely fits the identity of our football team." [/I] [B][URL]https://www.twincities.com/2006/12/20/mccarthy-committed-to-zone-blocking/[/URL][/B] Behind a paywall, so sorry. Article should be sufficient.

Hell, this very forum was quite annoyed we didn't, to paraphrase, "man up and run a power scheme." [/QUOTE]
