All of my experience has been with M2M. I like to think I have a pretty good M2M defense but I am just learning Zone. What are some of the best Zone Defensive plays, especially for Rookie level?
Thanks

I responded to your message in case you missed it. Ill repeat it here again with more detail. Zone requires a decent amount of physicals to really work properly. In rookie, you don't have enough so they are generally slow to react. In my experience, it doesn't really shine until mid soph season. I generally run rookie m2m, then switch to zone in soph. However, the most commonly used zone play is 3-4 cover tiger and 4-4 OLB blitz. Just scout Lexington's defense in rookie, see what they ran. I believe they ran zone entire rookie.

^^^This is very helpful^^^ I have heard that zone is a late bloomer. I am definitely seeing slow reactions at the rookie level.
I was looking for specific plays, now I have them. Thank you dlcurt, much appreciated

dlcurt is correct.

I will also add here that your philosophy and your builds will have a factor in what works for you too. You can be more coverage based or blitz based depending on how aggressive you want to play. Scout my Lex team for rookie and my KYM team for vet as well as dlcurt's championship team from last season in Vet. We both ran zone effectively (he in 1st place, me in 2nd), but with very different styles. It should give you an idea... if you have any other questions, send me a PM, I'm more than happy to help anyone, especially a glb vet like yourself.
