[QUOTE="warhawk, post: 143381, member: 431"] I agree with this. RB's in general are taught to take a handoff and run like hell as fast as they can and build up as much speed and power as they can and hit the #4 hole or the #3 hole or whatever. It's up to the line to have hole there to run thru. The ZB system tests BOTH the FB and the RB to "see" a seam open and then hit it. The RB then has to have the instincts to cut back if the hole closes because that usually means a backside lineman has closed which opens it up for a cutback. Because the RB is "cruising" the first few steps and waiting for a seam to open up they need to have the natural physical ability to get wide open fast once they commit. They need that burst. The RB MUST have patience, vision, a burst of speed, and a lot of faith in the FB and the system. The NEAT part about all this is the prototype RB and "0" lineman sought by most teams is not the guy for this system. That's why teams can generally find a RB later in the draft who fits it to a "T". I like the kid from Ohio ST. He's smart, has a better burst than I thought when I saw it against Florida, and he's played for a winner. He was the ONLY Buckeye I saw that could play with Florida that day. [/QUOTE]
