This morning I was catching up on all things Redskins when I saw this post over at httr24-7.com. It contains five to six hours of video footage of former Mike Shanahan assistant and proponent of the zone blocking scheme, Alex Gibbs, at a session he ran looking at the zone blocking scheme. I highly suggest watching over the videos if you have the time. But while I was watching them, the impact of the tight end stood out. On most plays, he's the primary read for the running back. If the tight end gets the desired outside leverage, the running back continues outside on his run. But if the tight end gives up the edge, the running back is forced inside with his read.

The story of Robert Griffin III’s rehabilitation from January knee surgery has trickled out in occasional tweets and texts, in vague proclamations from the Washington Redskins and Griffin’s doctor of the quarterback’s ahead-of-schedule progress, and in sporadic interviews.

In late December, the Steelers infrequently find themselves out of the playoffs — as they did last season. In mid-May, however, they're almost always considered to be one of the teams to beat.
