Running Zone Dive vs Bear Stack: 3 Critical Coaching Points

January 30, 2026

Video Description:
In this video, I break down how to run Zone Dive against the Bear Stack defense in the Flexbone offense. I focus on three key coaching points:

1. The playside A-back chases the tackle and two-hand slams whoever shows.
2. The B-back stays tight behind the tackle through the second level.
3. The tackle must make contact with the defender—or the guard if the guard overshoots his target.
   These three details ensure your Zone Dive play stays clean and explosive even against one of the toughest fronts in football.
