The beauty of the modern outside zone offense lies in its ability to create hesitation among the defensive wing players.
Typically, these defensive wing players need to pay attention to the quarterback's position; when the offensive group uses this system, both the quarterback and running back leave the pocket, and no one knows if the quarterback will turn a reception play into a fake run and real pass, creating hesitation among the subsequent defensive players—
Pass? Or run?
In the ever-changing game, this small moment of hesitation often allows the offensive group to create mismatches and open gaps.
Of course, the key to this tactic is not the quarterback, but the running back. The higher the threat level of the running back, the greater the adjustment space for the quarterback.
Luckily, the Tennessee Titans have Henry.
