Back to Help Me Play Better: Topic #1 How to Stop Screen Passes?

Single thread,

When I'm in zone, I like to play the weak side linebacker, especially if there is a RB offset on that side. Most runs are  designed to go to the strong side, the initial read for screen is on you and you just have to follow the blocking and understand if you have contain. I generally don't do much adjusting to cross screens, exotic screens, or screens from RBs that are straight back because my experience is that my team can handle them well enough on their own that it's not a problem when someone runs them regularly.
