This is how he ran under Urban Meyer, and the 49ers old's quick traps and pulling guards are now done... everyone is reading it and all the DL needs to do is just stay in their space for a few second and allow the 49er RB to come to them..
I agree Hyde was all about the Inside Zone in college. If the 49ers draft him and force him to adapt to a power run scheme, then it will be unknown territory for Hyde. Fortunately, I see the 49ers calling more zone blocking plays than I ever have in previous seasons under Harbaugh. As Hyde becomes the bell cow, I would expect the next staff to focus more on zone blocking than power blocking to play to Hyde's strength.
