[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 913429, member: 4199"] I don't think it's quite that simple. Lombardi breaks down the sweep in other places, but I know of this one. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv4CXySXxCk[/URL] Pay attention to the blocking assignment. In an "odd" call, you're asking the fullback to handle the playside defensive end 1:1. HA, nope. Looking at our roster, you expect Degura to be able to handle Z 1:1? Nope, that's a loss. Further, if you're playing a team that would favor a power sweep, bring that safety down into the box. Cheat your SOLB inside of the TE (or the Y as Lombardi addresses him ) and the safety to the outside (brought down into the box). You've just made everyone's job much harder on offense. Agreed, which is where the modern zone scheme comes in, because the Lombardi sweep is more of a zone play than a man play, is the cutback. Get the defense going wide, put your foot in the ground, and move against the flow. In part 2 of Lombardi's breakdown, you can see it taking shape at about 3:02 here: [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weiHG-Ldn5s[/URL] EDIT: Also over looked is defenses in Lombardi's day played (more) head that our modern, gap defenses.

All this is not to say the Lombardi sweep is not impossible today, just that sweeps aren't as common anymore because defenses adapted to take away most of the leverage. They are now more of a "haha! caught you sleeping!" counter punch. [/QUOTE]
