July is Scheme Month at Better Rivals, and every week we’ll be breaking down new SCHEMATICS that we expect to see from the 49ers in 2015. This week, we kick things off with the zone-blocking scheme. What is it? Where did it come from? How does it fit the 49ers’ roster? We’ve got everything you need to know on the potential changes to San Francisco’s run game.
