Wide Zone - 18/19 Zorro
A Shanahan game plan is not complete without some explosive Wide Zone plays. The variation that brought them the most success in this game was the strong toss. The tag for this variation is called Zorro. Zorro is run to a 2 tight end, or a tight end and fullback surface. It tells the two extra blockers they are double-teaming the end man on the line of scrimmage to the support defender.
