That blocking scheme just generates more production for backs. Davis did it. His successors were virtually as successful. Arian Foster has done it. It's a pretty well known fact that it happens.


If the ZBS was the reason players put up hoF type numbers, then every team in the league would be running it

Okay. So if it's not the scheme, then what is it? Admittedly consistency along the line and staff helps. But when you can literally plug in another guy and watch him go for 1,000+ yards with nary a hiccup, that's an indicator that it's probably not the back that is the chief driver of those results. I guess if you want to argue it's the line I'm not going to battle you too hard, but what they do is as important as who they are.

And more teams use zone blocking or at least concepts from zone blocking than you might expect.
