"Run and shoot was a lot of fun for the players, throwing it all over the field". All the O-Linemen, "Yeah.....fun. Can I please pull and hit someone now?"
As a College Offensive Lineman, I can give that a big “ Amen”. Run blocking is the most fun by far. You establish your dominance over the D-lineman or linebacker in front of you. He doesn’t get to beat on you while you just slow him down. The Secret in Run Blocking is that if you Obtain & Maintain Contact , you Win! Every Fricken Time! Get Contact. Stay Low. Eyes Open. Keep your feet moving. And Bam, if your Run Game is strong; you demoralize the guy in front of you. You can sense their morale going down as the game goes on. Even better is when the play is wide to the other side and you get to block downfield. Full speed hitting a safety as he is breaking down to tackle the ball carrier. Blindside, full speed, lots of impact. He is looking for you the rest of the game! Usually results in a helmet sticker! It’s kinda like great sex!
@@stevenpaul3808 I never played past high school (weird that no college was interested in 6'0" 190 lb linemen) and we ran the Veer. We threw the ball about 5 times a game but every time the QB called a pass play in the huddle you could sense all the O-Line shoulders sag in disappointment.
@@MrJacksjb I can dig it.
Line men aren't supposed to have fun. That's their punishment for being fat and slow. No room for dead weight.
@j carlton I was kidding lol. Yeah some of them are built like Tightends that Dont catch
I ran what many refer to as the West Coast Offense in Semipro from 2000-2009 in my AAA Adult Minor League Football Coaching career. I decided to take Bill Walsh's advice and call mine the Mid-West Offense and changed the verbage to a route number system within the play call to cut down on mental errors. We got 1 or 2 practice days a week if we were lucky, and I focused instead on the reps the players needed which minimized mental errors on the field tremendously. This enabled us to be flexible with our run game and pass block schemes as well. We also could expand our route trees to auxiliary routes off of them and it worked quite well. We won 2 Championships and I got all 5 teams I coached at that level to the playoffs, some having their first ever winning seasons under it. I was awarded with a AAA Hall of Fame induction in the class of 2013 and Mouse Davis inducted me interestingly. He also treated us coaches there to a clinic on his run & shoot concepts our final morning which was more basic than i thought and looked very interesting to run.
Semi-pro 😂
@@MrShanester117Better than a couch potato like yourself
@@MrShanester117how far did your career go?
Growing up watching Warren Moon run the Run n Shoot with the Houston Oilers back in the day was absolutely mesmerizing. I couldn't believe the things that team did to opposing offenses. It madeyou want to stay glued ot the tv because you never knew when you were going to miss a huge play on the field. Jeffires, Givins, Hill, Duncan, Slaughter gave opposing teams fits. I still can't believe they lost that playoff game to the Bills!! 😢 The only other team I've seen in the years since then that was as explosive on the field was the Rams when they ran "The Greatest Show on Turf" with Kurt Warner as QB.
In the mid 80's my high school ran the wing T and we were considered high flying. Now that offense is considered archaic..
Air Raid: There is an excellent biography of Hal Mumme, one of the originators of the Air Raid, "The Perfect Pass" by S.C. Gwynne, that also talks a lot about the Air Raid offense.
A little known fact about Hal is that he is also one of the originators of incest porn.
What coaches miss about the west coast offense, the most important thing, was to find players that could do multiple things so the defense could not change personnel to match. RB that could line up as a slot FB that could go to TB, TE that could run routes like a wr. Now defenses would keep there base personnel on the field.
My first exposure to offensive schemes was my older brother's Pop Warner team. They ran a single-wing where they a back lined up between the tackle and guard, second back behind the guard and third back behind center. They had two very fast backs who ran sweeps all game long, scoring lots of points. The success of that offense required getting to the outside and turning the corner. From there, it was a race to the end zone. They won all, but two games, the second one being a post season game in a low scoring slugfest. At that level, speed is all you have because the kids are all roughly the same size.
Honestly, I like the mix of wishbone and triple option (even some flex wing too) to give the defense a break. But, also eat the clock and dominate the possession time. Yes, it would require some Full back and running back pain. But, the idea is to play 4 quarters. This is something my favorite Seahawk/former USC Pete Caroll who loves to run the ball.
My junior year of HS we ran a 2 TE 3RB flexbone. Had two games that year where we had the leave got the ball with 7 minutes left and never gave it back 4 yd runs every time ran the clock out
Simple is better. I coach pop Warner football. Coaches want to use the spread , they don’t have the players or ability to run a efficient offense like that. I wouldn’t use a spread until college unless u have a talented squad like Miami central I’m a power running guy. More blockers the better
Yea you gone get left behind running some wishbone in 2022😂😂🤡
I was 15 in '84 when they first ran the "Run & Shoot" with Mouse Davis, Jim Kelly and the Houston Gamblers. Offensive football was changed forever. I coach middle school kids. I love it. My offense is called "Smash & Grab. I run I & Pro formation with a TE & 2 WRs. Run it down their throats, use play action & misdirection to grab yards via the long pass. A lot of "WC" offense mixed in. It was good watching SF run plays like I use.
This is an excellent video on the history and current status of football offenses. This should be shown to all high school freshmen football players so they have a solid grasp of what they are doing and why. Also, that Westcoast offense is nasty, lol! Great video!
High school freshmen??!! Isn’t that a little bit late to learn offenses?…You must be outside of Texas, Florida or California.
@brittking3990 : A lot of people do not start playing serious football until high school. How else is a kid that never played football supposed to know how offenses work if he never played before high school? Some kids parents do not let them play for a wide variety of reasons. Some kids have terrible coaches before they get to high school that never went over the basics. This video is a great point of reference to make sure all of your freshman football players are all on the same page as far as an understanding of what is going on on the field and why. When I was a freshman playing football it did not matter if you were Bill Belichicks son or if you never saw a football in your life, we were going over the basics. Again, so that way the coach and everyone else knew everyone was on the same page.
This channel is great. As a very casual follower of NFL I’m not that clued up on plays, offensive and defensive tactics so very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you!!
@@vIQtorySports I use the air raid offense. When I play flag football.
I thought it was one of the better introductions I’ve seen. Good stuff. We’ve actually combined gun and triple option but not read option. Running midline, inside veer, and outside veer from gun. We’ve had lots of success.
Thank you! Good stuff! Keep it going coach!
Fisher Deberry Flexbone...it's important to mention that a lot of that comes from the Tiger Elis ORIGINAL Run and Shoot which was run out of a formation that looked a lot like the Flexbone. The Cowboy and Gangster series is a lot of run option plays.
Walsh credited Paul Brown with the West Coast offense for some reason. He also coached Stanford twice, which together with San Francisco leads to the "West Coast" term.
"The West Coast" began in Ohio while Walsh was the OC for the Bengals.
Story goes a member of the Giants staff called it the West Coast Offense. NFL films did a video on it.
The single wing is still used today in football but they changed the name to the Wildcat. Pop Warner also designed the Double Wing which really changed the game. Teams like West Point used the Flying Wedge but Warner incorporated speed and deception. Lots of the spread formation looks and acts like the single wing with more passing. The reason they didn’t pass as much with the single wing was because the ball was bigger than it is today and the rules in some areas had penalties for passing. The Notre Dame box was shifted into after lining up in the T formation. The T formation goes way back before Clark Shaughney. Option: Don Faurot actually had a fourth option with the play. The HB also could throw after the pitch. Faurot’s option was different because the first hand off was to the HB not the FB. The FB would be a blocker. The things you mentioned about Fisher DeBerry were done earlier by Bear Bryant in the 1970s. His Wishbone teams would line up in several formations including the Double wing with the different motions. The games are here on KZhead to see.
We were running the "Wishbone", on my high school team, in the mid-80's. It stuck around for a minute.
This video is nuts. In a world of mindless commentary, finally I get to learn something about this sport. Y'all got a subscriber!
Thank you! Appreciate it!
FINALLY someone who explains football basics with context! "This style of offense uses these kinds of formations. The players do this because it has this advantage or this effect" Seems like every guide I find is either super basic where it just kind of lays out where all the players stand, or goes way more advanced by just talking about how to make changes to the basics to counter some specific defense
Good video. Love the history lesson. Thanks for making this.
We ran the Wishbone in HS, in the early ‘80s. I was the fullback and started my sophomore year. The sad thing is we had two big TEs, 6’ 4” and 6’ 1”, and very athletic, yet the coach refused to pass the ball or get them involved. After the first year the defense would just put 8 lineman on the line of scrimmage and one DB back as a safety, knowing we would never throw the ball. And that hurt our pass defense because they never had a chance to defend against passes during practice. What a waste. Our offensive line was one of the biggest in the state (Indiana) yet we went 3-7 because our coach was stubborn. And if we got behind our run game chewed up the clock and we could never score quickly at the end of the game.
Damn
Great stuff man ! Love the history lesson too.
Great video. Very instructive.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Love the Ferot mention as an STL boy & MIZ fan.
Awesome content man keep up the good work
thank you very much and happy holidays :)
Thank you! You as well!
Nice video. Good primer for those who want to understand football variations.
Thank you!
Well done!! Stumbled on this by chance after trying to study what these great coaches introduced into the game e.g. Mike Leach with Air Raid etc... thanks and keep it up.. Liked and subbed...
Thank you so much! I'm hoping to make an updated one soon. Appreciate it!
thanks for all this information! it would be great to get this same type of explanation of the evolution of the defensive side, this help me understand better the strategy of the game.
Sounds good! We'll add it to the list!
@@vIQtorySports thanks so much I’m a qb and need to understand everything better
Modern defensive football, in my estimation and I've been a rabid follower since the 1977 season, begins with Minnesota's Floyd Peters and the next were Bud Carson in Cleveland, Monte Kiffen and Jimmy Johnson in Philadelphia. Followed by Bill Belichick. nflfootballjournal.blogspot.com/2018/08/sack-master-coachfloyd-peters.html
You should talk about the K-Gun offense, which was a variant of the Run and Shoot. Jim Kelly ran Mouse Davis’s run and shoot to perfection for the USFL Houston Gamblers. When Kelly went to the Buffalo Bills, they took the Run and Shoot, the no-huddle and other concepts and it became the k-gun. It wasn’t the 5 WRs routes of the RnS, the Bills didn’t do that. Ironically, Jack Parde and his OC who coached Jim Kelly in the USFL, switched leagues and ran a pure run and shoot with Warren Moon and the Oilers. The Bills/Oilers games of that period were an offensive clinic, and phenomenal to watch, culminating in one of the greatest comebacks of all time when the Bills were down 35-3 at halftime. That was the run and shoot at it’s most potent with the Oilers scoring early and often. But it also exposed one of the faults of the run and shoot. The Oilers couldn’t run out the clock in the 2nd half, which gave the potent no huddle K-Gun offense of the Bills plenty of time to make that famous comeback. That game was really a battle of two great offensive systems. That would make for a great video.
I'll add it to the list! I love the K gun innovation! Thank you for the comment and the insight.
what that the game when jefferies for the oilers got knocked out?
@@vIQtorySports Yes and keep in mind that that Sam Wyche/Boomer Esaison first tried to run the "hurry up all the time" offense in Cincinnati in 1988-1989, but they could never quite get it right. So um, this was at least a decade before the Air Raid. If we are doing history, let's do it right, please. And now, for my own personal wiki on this topic, from memory: The Bills played the Bengals in that year's AFC Championship game. They beat us with it. Marv Levy saw what they were trying to do, and innovated, but it was a struggle. The Bills were terrible in 1989-1990 season, mostly over bickering with each other over trying this new thing: the K-Gun. Hence, the "Bickering Bills". But, the following year the Bills used the K-Gun to destroy the Raiders 51-3 in the 1990-91 AFC Championship Game, but lost the SB to the Giants(wide right). GIants D Coordinator Bill Belechick literally rushed only 2-3 D lineman most of the game, in an effort to stop the K-Gun, and Jim Kelly's ego(he called all the plays, not the OC) kept us from simply running the ball against that, until the late 3rd qtr. People forget that Thurman Thomas ran for multiple 200+ yard games every season out of the K-Gun(people also forget that Thomas was the first true dual threat RB/all-purpose yards leader, long before Marshall Faulk). Everybody remembers the passing, but, most people forget that the K stood for Keith...McKellar. The whole thing was based on the TE, because however the D lined up against McKellar dictated everybody else's routs/choices. The Bills got much better TEs, quickly, but It forced Ds to give Kelly a look, and once they did? Murder. The entire concept of post-snap defense had to be created, and evolve, because of the K-Gun. The vaunted Pittsburgh Steelers D of the late 90s/early 2000s was created to stop it. So was their offense. Bill Cowher's entire team was built from ground up to stop Buffalo, but they failed for 4 straight years. Best part: where are Dan Marino's SB rings? Buried in the gravel and grass of Orchard Park, NY. The K-Gun, and the Defense, meant that Marino only went to 1 SB, years before Marv Levy was coach, and never, ever returned. The Bills beat Marino in the division more than not, and, defeated him all but 1 time in the playoffs. The Kurt Warner St. Louis Rams ran a hybrid of the K-Gun, West Coast, Run and Shoot, and even an early from of RPO, switching off between them: which is how they earned the "greatest show on turf" moniker. Every year the Bills did 20 things right, and 1 thing wrong, but it was that 1 thing that would get exploited badly, and cost them the SB. I have spoken. LOL! EDIT: So yeah, pretty much the same as today!
@@DeathDealerizationInteresting! Drop some history about defense.
@@bunnyman6321The best way to beat a Run and Shoot team is to have a fast, physical swarming defense that can get to the QB without blitzing. Then the DBs need to be good at man coverage. That will shut down most of the WRs. The superback will struggle too. If you look at University of Houston during the late ‘80s they were putting up 85 and 95 points on teams. They beat SMU 95-21. SMU is still sore about that. Houston only had run and shoot plays and they couldn’t “shut down” the offense. They could have scored over 100 points though. Soon after, UofH was rated #3 in the country and was about to play University of Miami during their prime. Miami had a fast, physical and swarming defense that was bigger and stronger than the UpfH players. Miami won 41-10 and Houston’s rein of run and shoot terror came to an end. They started loosing and soon, due to a scandal, HC John Jenkins got fired. The famous Houston Oilers vs Buffalo Bills game where Houston was up 38-3 at half, (I think that’s the right score), then the Bills came back and one. That’s a pure run and shoot team, the Oilers, vs the K-Gun offense. Those two teams had tremendous battles in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. If you get a chance, watch that game in full to see how a run and shoot team can lose a game, and how the Kgun offense can come back from a 35 point deficit. That game is truly important for more than just the choke. It’s the matchup of those two styles that makes it a must watch game.
This was super helpful
Glad it helped!
Rich Rodriguez, one if the greatest coaches of all time!
Great explanations!
Thanks Caleb!
Kinda cool how it's mostly college and even high school coaches coming up with new ideas.
Left out June Jones in the Run and Shoot tree who really changed the offense to what you expect to see today. Also, Air Raid has way more to it than being up-tempo. Hal Mamme and Mike Leach had been running the offense since 1989 at Iowa Wesleyan. Where the developed the offense based on passing concepts from LaVell Edwards at BYU, who funny enough developed a version of Bill Walsh's West Coast offense because of the limitations of the same QB Virgil Carter. Walsh and Edwards would merge in a way when Doug Scovil, a personal friend of Walsh, became Offensive Coordinator at BYU.
Elements of the RPO was already starting to be seen as far back as 1991 with the Syracuse Orangmen football team and its freeze option. It was primarily a run dominant scheme there were short 3 & 5 plays that had the read on the Linebacker to where if the LB committed the QB (Marvin Graves) would hit a quick slant to Quadry Ismael. Very Interesting vid on the origins of offensive schemes. I knew about Walsh and the John Cook story but a lot of this presented content was enjoyable to watch.
Great Intel, Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching Vincent!! Your viewership is much appreciated!
Ayame Tsutsui, thank you. Because of you, I'm learning so much. Without you, I'd never have open up this door to football. Great video. I'm impessed by the intelligence used in football.
Thank you!
@@vIQtorySports You're welcome. Your videos show me the intellectual side of football. I'm impressed and look forward to more football content. Keep up the great work.
The shortest distance is always A to B. This is 1 fundamental block on each play and goal. Teams having fourth quarter successes great in number have been preparing all game more than likely.
Wtf? Are an ai robot? This sounds like poorly translated Chinese.
Great explanation, sir! I do wanna add something & give clarification for those who may hear the term “pro-style offense” and wonder what it means. It’s not a system, but rather a vague & honestly, somewhat outdated phrase that used to apply to teams that ran a lot of 21 & 12 personnel with the QB under center a lot more. With how the game has evolved over the past 10 years to more Shotgun snaps/spread looks, that term has changed, so when you hear it, it basically just means an offense that relies on the QB playing and making throws from the pocket consistently. The term “spread” is vague too. It’s just a formation concept with multiple types of offenses under the umbrella. NFL teams use spread looks nowadays more consistently as I & the guy in the video mentioned. There’s spread option systems, & spread west coast systems (commonly used in the NFL today). The Air Raid almost always uses spread formations… so you can be a spread team & still be considered a pro-style offense if you rely on your QB making throws from the pocket consistently. Just wanted to point out what those terms mean & how they aren’t really systems.
My favorite offense would be the run and shoot concept with the west coast offense. So basically I will take the concept of the choice route with the short intermediate passing game and a strong running game.
We use a lot of creative motions including motioning the qb in a wildcat formation and run a lot of options with the fb and we put our biggest wr at te and the defense doesn’t know if they should cover him with a ss or olb
Got suggested this and wanted to add: a lot of those dedicated single wing guys will say it made a comeback in the NFL when the Dolphins went with what was dubbed the wildcat with their running back Ronnie Brown taking direct snaps
The offensive coordinator for Miami was the same guy while he was at Arkansas with Darren McFadden running the Wild Hog offense. The Hogs kind of brought the single wing back into the fold nationally.
Wildcat is designed mostly for power zone and trap running inside. The Single Wing was more for sweeps and counters with speed more than power. The wishbone and all of those option styles required a QB.
Good video! I played single wing in high school. It was fun but too much running.
This is a great idea!
Thanks Coach!
I was a blocking back on my high school teams single wing. We came up with an option by having the FB dive, handing me the ball, I'd come down the line executing an option with the tailback. It worked.
Paul Horning at Notre Dame and Frank Gifford at USC were tremendous Single Wing Players
If one looks at the Bills from the early 90's, that K-Gun offense had elements of both the WCO and the Air Raid. It was very fast moving and used a lot of quick & intermediate routes.
Andre Reed crossing routes
Helped havingThurman Thomas behind them
@vIQtory Sports Thank you for this video. A lot of this video features pass heavy offenses which is not a surprise since the NFL these days is pass oriented. Could you please do a video on run oriented offenses and formations?
For sure!
As a Georgia Tech fan I loved watching Paul Johnson's Triple Option
I like how you covered this genuine. Thank you Viq
also, the Chicago Bears offense..1st down: Montgomery up the middle for 1 yard..2nd down: Screen pass to Mooney for a 3 yard loss..3rd down and 12: false start on Mustipher..3rd down and 17: sack on Fields..4th and 30: punt
Nice informative video about the offense types. I have a minor gripe though, you forgot to mention Alabama using the wishbone. The Bear had a good run with the wishbone(3 National Championships). I know he didn't originate the wishbone but he made it an offense hard to beat. Just wanted to add that little bit of history.
Crazy part is my best friend coaches junior high football runs a variation of the spread out of the wing t.
1:26 yeah, I remember the early 1900s like they were yesterday.
I was at Valdosta State when Mumme and Leach were there. Good times. I had no idea I was watching history
Terrific video. Really. Makes me want to create my own offense, about which I know very little. How about 'Run-and-Shoot-Triple-Wing-Death-Ray'?
Haha let's run it!
Paul Johnson came closest to this when he was OC at Hawaii. Successive years he had a 4000 yard passer followed by a QB who ran for 1000 and passed for 1000.
My exstepdad was one of the first run n shoot halfbacks at middletown high school! Go middies!
What years did he play?
This is really fantastic and well researched. Thank you.
Obviously, the two guys you mentioned before him when I think of Bill Walsh in Cincinnati, I think of his quarterback is Kenny Anderson
Love the air raid
really great video - I would say you missed one significant offensive philosophy - the air Coryell which was I think began by Sid Luckman but got popularized by Don Coryell. I had always been led to believe is the opposite of the west coast offense. It relies on vertical passing, vertical routes. It also created some of the most powerful explosive offenses of its time. St Louis cardinals when Coryell was there - later San Diego and Dan Fouts in the early 80s that was a devastating offense and then the St Louis Rams, greatest show on turf - one of the most exciting offenses ever seen in the NFL. Your video is an excellent presentation - just thought this was another signifcant offense especially in the pro game that bares recognizing.
Thank you! We'll look into doing a special Air Coryell video. Appreciate the kind words!
Great explanations but flexbone or "Hambone" looks different than the double wing Air Force. Georgia Southern in the 1980's ran triple option out of what I know of as the Flexbone. Paul Johnson, Mike Sewak and later Jay Russell, Time Stowers, Jay Vanuto, C. Ray Gregory and Leroy Riley all coached it pretty well for Head Coach Erk Russell. First time I ever saw it was Troy University running it with their QB Mike Turk. Chan Gaily was the coach. I don't know if he invented the offense but they won the National Title running it.
🎉🎉🎉thank you
Jerry Burns and Fran Tarkenton developed a "Midwest Coast Offense" When Tarkenton came back in 1972
Scott Abell Davidson College NC spread-triple option
i love the west coast offense
Bill Walsh created that offense I remember Jerry Rice would catch a 5 and in and take it 75 yards for a TD. I like it to
I-Formation and different styles of running physical based offenses.
Man I love football
Same!
I wanna ask you a question I feel like the run and shoot would really work on Lamar Jackson because of his spread and his rollouts can create open doors for receivers but what do you think is good for Lamar ? Like offense for him
Seeing as the Ravens are already running a smash mouth options running first style offense I'd say that suits him best. His greatest strengths are his speed and agility and having him as the second or third option for run plays is a great way of going at it, after which you can start passing the ball with under center drop backs, RPOs and play action. Lamar is a good passer, but this usually stems from teams being to focused on stopping the running game. If they succeed at killing the run Lamar is usually unable to do anything throwing the ball, so anything to pass heavy I would say maybe not. With better recievers he could possibily manage as a normal qb, but since we have not yet seen this from him not so sure.

Fascinating, and very informative. 2 comments--1, I don't know of anyone, even high-school teams, that run the "Single Wing" today. But I guess I could be wrong. 2, Do you plan to cover the "Wing-T"? It appears that the Wing-T evolved not from the Single Wing but from the T formation. I hope you cover this. TY for a great video.
There are some single wing teams still around and a strong coaching community around it. We actually do have wing t in the mix! Will have the video soon. Thank you for the kind words and have a great week!
There are a lot of Single Wing coaches in High School. Also, it’s used now and then in the NFL. The “Wildcat” that Miami used and that Tennessee still uses here and there is basically a Single Wing variant.
@@kleptoliapennyfeather6078 But I said "Single Wing," not variants. I'm aware of many "variants" on the Single Wing. But is anyone actually running the 4-back "Single Wing"?
@@timothyhadley5699 at the high school level, absolutely.
So by your explanation, Kellen Moore, Chip Kelly, Kliff Kingsbury run this offense.
So the tempo of the offense is what determines the difference between the run and shoot and the air raid? Both systems seem similar to me.
Your channel name is so legit lol
Well we all know Techs signature Air Raid was always the most fun. RIP Mike Leach, 4 verts forever.
This is a good overview of offenses for people who know the basics of the game; however, this video assumes that the people who are watching it know lots of football terminology. Perhaps you could have an intro video that discusses some of the terminology that you are using. Just a thought.
The wishbone was developed at Breckenridge HS by Bellard, fun fact.
QB and slot a triple option with 2 slot and 1 fb… shit was so lit to see the defense confused 😂😂😂
Love air raid. RIP Mike Leach. Rest easy Pirate
The best!
If ur a youth football coach and u have decent receivers I’m telling u that the west coast is the best offense for u cuz at that age kids aren’t as aware in their zones and in man they’ll get beet anyway
Good video, but you should have given some time to the original West Coast (Don "Air" Coryell) offense.
We have a video on this coming soon!
Nothing about Don Coryell?
Chip Kelly tried to run a hurry-up offense to keep the opposing defense on the field. The downside to that is you wear out your offensive linemen. And when the offensive line gets tired, quarterbacks get hit. And then they get hurt.
Bill Walsh in an interview with Bob Trumpy, Walsh told how he ask permission from the Bengals front office to take Paul Browns offense with him to study it. Paul Brown is the coach who designed and perfected the short passing offense that was designed primarily to get ball to Jim Brown. No doubt Walsh added his preferences to the offense. The so called "west coast offense" originated on the practice field of Berea Ohio, way back in the 1950s/60s and a far cry from the "west coast."
What type of offensive does Oklahoma run? I'm trying to figure out what type of offensive to use in madden when building around my QB Jalen Hurts??
I believe it’s the air raid, l believe Lincoln Riley learned it from mike leach back in the day 🤔
@@iceman7213 Nope.
What was Al Bundy running at Polk High when he scored 4 TD’s for Polk High in the city championship game? I’m assuming the wing t ?
Virgil Carter was the first QB to utilize Walsh's "West Coast" offense with mixed results but Ken Anderson who bumped Virgil Carter from the Starting QB role was really the fist QB to affectively use Walsh's offense and boy did he. As for the Air-Raid you actually need to go further back to the 1980's to another Bengals Connection. Head Coach Sam Wyche. Wyche was the first to start using an up tempo spread type offense with four receivers and in addition his famous "No Huddle" offense.
The next big offfensive revolution will be using the powers of lateras. If a team like Uconn uses the power next season, I can genuinely see them beat clemson and win the natty.
UCONN LFG
My coach told us that "Zone Read Action" was called "Play of the century action" or P.O.C.
You missed the Satellite Offense ran by Miss State Valley- with Jerry Rice.
That 4 stack formation looks noice. I'm surprised no one runs it for how effective it is.
The hardest part about playing DE against the option was not pulling up against the QB. I got so many flags 😢. Also Dan Faurot’s name (and Missouri’s stadium named after him) is pronounced ‘four-oh’. The ‘T’ is silent.
We run a run and shoot but with wide zone and a lot of boot
Nice but what about the pistol offense?
Just a formation, not an offensive philosophy
@@jrw_12 actually it is more then a formation is a down hill running philosophy that melds the shotgun and I formations together.
@@gixxerpsycho no its a formation where a lot of plays build off from. And certain offensive systems use more pistol formations than others. Some offensive systems use pistol formation only (like some college style offense), but in the nfl there isnt really a team that uses a system where the pistol formation ist heavily involved. So its an Formation within a system, but its no system.
@@finn4556 you are incorrect Baltimore use the pistol formations and play schemes 90+ percent of the time. Just people like yourself want to water it down to where the running back aligns only. But forget nub trips with the Qb at 4.5 yards back and rb 3.5 yards behind the QB is a pistol specific formation. Split zone with the wing is a pistol special that air raid coaches now utilize with the H-back. Look up Coach Ault or Coach Klenakis from Nevada who are the originators of the pistol offense. Then look at anything from Greg Roman with the 49ers and Kaep, with the Bills and EJ, and now with the Ravens and Lamar Jackson. Here is another hint…if it wasn’t a system why does Madden on older NCAA have it as a full playbook and system you can run? Don’t let the spread, air raid, run-n-shoot folks fool you that it is only an rb alignment.
@@gixxerpsycho no its a formation on which a lot of plays build off of. But there is NO offensive system in the NFL which utilizes only the Pistol Formation. There are systems where the pistol formation is used kinda only. Like 90% of the time. But that still is a formation in a system that than ist heavily based off of the Pistol Formation. So u name me a fool but urself u used madden as an argument thats dumb. Its very simple a formation is how players align on the field a offensive system is how these alignments are used to get yards.
What about the Texas coast offense. I heard Dallas cowboys are revolutionizing the passing game. Just when playing horrible teams.
Why no mention of the veer in more detail?
Single wing Harry Ragsdale. Giles county Virginia.
I'd like to see a deeper look at the wishbone, veer and I formations, particularly the wishbone nuances run by texas, bama and oklahoma, and I formation nuances used by nebraska and usc. BTW, the spread, r&s and zone reads are ruining the game imo. I think there will have to be rule changes eventually to help the defenses out. Too much of advantage today for the offense, esp. given the rule changes to mute the physicality of the game (needed, but being accomplished the wrong way). Just my 2 cents.
