[QUOTE="GTYellowJacket12, post: 15433, member: 241"] Sorry for any confusion, I was talking about the advantages/disadvantages of our current system vs a 3 or 4 WR shotgun air raid attack (You can download some playbooks here [url]http://www.footballxos.com/free-football-playbooks/offense-playbooks/air-raid-offense/[/url] including mike leach's) and not just the tactical in game advantages but also advantages in terms of recruiting and preparation. The rest of my post is just about how I came to consider the two systems, [B]everyone knows that we will never recruit at the football factory level so in my eyes the challenge for us is to find the scheme that can best reduce the talent gap between us an our opponents thereby neutralizing their recruiting advantage.[/B] A scheme that capitalizes on the superior aggressiveness and athletic ability of our opponents defense and turn one of their main strengths into a weakness. I believe the triple option can do that (creating one on one opportunities on the edge for the pitch/keep or straight bback dive lanes) but after watching us fail year after year against the more physical teams (VPI, UM, LSU, Iowa, Ugag, Clemson) I am seriously doubting that we can ever have enough talent to allow the system to work so I'm considering a similar system that might achieve the parity I seek while at the same time attracting better talent. An air raid spread passing offense can do that, since quick screens, slants, digs, etc out of 3 step drops freezes defenses and makes them reactive rather than proactive. Also if we use wider yard splits (like Texas Tech used to under Leach) we can considerably slow down linebacker blitzes (there will only be 2 of them since the defense is nickel), have clearly defined running lanes for inside read option runs, and also require less in-game blocking adjustments so we don't waste snaps -and possessions- figuring out which adjustments to make to get the offense running again when it gets stuffed. In sum, I'm just trying to find out from others here (since the tone of this board is more serious/analytical) what advantages/disadvantages the two systems have to better be able to compare them.
