Could you point to a link sharing the diff zone blocking schemes such as the reid style and shanny's? Or a brief synopsis?

I think Smart Football ran a feature on the different kinds of ZBS schemes a year or two years ago. I'll see if can dig it up.
The biggest difference is the reliance on the cut blocking in the Shanahan scheme to create huge cutback lanes. You don't really see the long cutbacks in other variations of the zone blocking scheme. It's still zone blocking, you're still blocking an area instead of a man, but every play in Shanahan scheme (and Kubiak as well), the backside end is under immense pressure to play the cutback.
Doesn't seem like it would be a major difference for a guard as opposed to the tackle, but I've heard otherwise.
