Interesting watch. Question after watching this for any former coaches/X's and O's nerds on the board: How hard is it to re-condition/deprogram OL who have been primarily running Inside Zone plays under Moorhead/Rahne/Ciarrocca to learn the nuances of Wide Zone? Same with the RB...is that a big learning curve understanding new steps, reads and aiming points? Thanks in advance.
Interesting comparison. I'm no former coach or X & O expert, but IMHO it still comes down to the OL making their blocks, not whiffing!

No real difference, zone blocking is zone blocking when it comes to who each person is responsible for. Basically, they will block the same guy whether it's an inside zone run or outside zone run.
The difference will be how they block the defender, but it's not really a big deal to "recondition" them. For inside zone, the line is blocking vertically... pushing their guy down the field (generally speaking). For outside zone, I believe it's a technique where the line will block and pin their man to the inside if they engage right away, or turn them towards the sideline if it takes more than 3 or 4 steps to engage them.
Essentially it's this: Count the defenders and pick up your man, then either push him inside or outside depending on how long it takes to engage.
Hats off to this guy for the enthusiasm in making this video. I hope Franklin and staff learn something from this. They should offer him a job
