A 4i technique can create real problems for inside zone because the defender is already aligned on the tackle’s inside shoulder, right where the offense wants to establish leverage
That alignment changes the entire guard-tackle combination. The tackle has to prevent immediate inside penetration while staying square and patient enough to keep the block alive. If he oversteps, opens his hips too early or loses his inside half, the 4i can cross his face, cancel the B-gap and disrupt the play before the running back ever gets a clean read
The guard can help when the front allows it, but his job is more than just putting a shoulder into the defender and climbing. He has to help create real displacement and control so the 4i is secured before either blocker leaves for the linebacker
That is where the combination becomes a timing and leverage battle. The offense has rules for the 4i and the linebacker behind him, but post-snap movement determines how the block gets sorted out. One lineman eventually has to take control of the 4i while the other climbs. Leave too early and the 4i can fall back into the lane. Stay too long and the linebacker stays clean
From a defensive standpoint, that is exactly why the 4i can be so valuable. He does not have to make the tackle to affect the play. If he controls the B-gap, prevents a clean overtaking block, delays the climb and keeps the linebacker free, he has done his job

Yesterday I was double w/50-55 Ss in the gym. “Move the pin” shared by @pe4everykid was the perfect simple team challenge activity (especially w/recovering from the weekend)
Ss in pairs competed against another pair. We rotated groups ~ 3-4 min.

Table Ball, developing the skills of striking, teamwork, communication. Start with a serve & play to 5 points. You can play 1v1, 1v2, & 2v2. Great for all K-12 students.
@chrisvIQtory 1. Shot put
2. Kick stand
Throw the post man away from the drive man to disconnect their hips. Put your kick stand out away from the drive man so you can fight pressure with pressure. Keep your shot put arm and kick stand locked out until drive man climbs.
HERES THAT VIDEO OF WIDE ZONE BLK TECHS VS A TWO GAPPING 4i DE AND A FALL BACK LB. ARE YOU CONVINCED YET THAT THE RT SHOUD COVER THE 4i SQ WITH DOU ARROWS AND ONLY COME OFF ON THE LB IF HE SCRAPES TO THE C GAP AND THE RG SHUFFLE DEEP, READ HIS LB AND CLIMB ON HIM. CONVINCED YET ?
REPEATS. ILL SHOW 2 CLIPS ON M/W ZONE WHY THE FST VS A 4 OR 4i SHOULD USE IS FOOTWORK-FF IN PLACE AND ONLY COME OFF AND “U” OUT THE LB IF HE SCRAPES. NO NEED TO PIN THE LB. THE GD SHOULD SHUFFLE DEEP +1) HAMMER THE DE IF THE LB SCRAPES 2) REWIND ON THE N OR 3) CLIMB ON THE LB.

Poss repeat- 2 More Deep shuffles by the OG+ the Ot stays square on the 4i (slants to it)+ STUFFS THE 4i TO THE OG + “U’s” the LB out. The C always protects the A gap in case the lb hits the A or the DE spikes to the A. The OG HAS THE B GAP. THEY ARE RESP FOR GAPS NOT MEN.
