[QUOTE="ilovetheoption, post: 836832, member: 1414"] I had long heard Paul Johnson talk about how much the Air Raid was like the Triple Option, and for my own team, I've cribbed some Air Raid concepts in the pass game, but I'd never really dug into the Air Raid as a whole offense until this year. Johnson's not wrong. Like, x's and o's, it couldn't me more different, but conceptually, it he's not wrong. They're more alike than you think. They do relatively few things, they just do them really well, and above all else they're ball control offenses, trying to manage the sticks with a baseline thing that they'll just do 100 times in a row (with a smile) if you don't defend it. ONLY WHEN you defend the basics will they go to their counters to your counters, and your counters to their counters leave you vulnerable to the baseline thing, and they just circle around over and over and over, confident that the few plays that they have have enough wrinkles in them that you can't be right, and the QB just has to read it right and make the right choice. It's a beautiful offense to watch, if you don't wed yourself to what football "should" be like, and just allow yourself to see the system, and the patterns, and let it settle on your brain. Look at this: [URL]https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/705[/URL] It's VERY few concepts, that have choices, and you have certain choices of how to defend it, and if you chose one, another of their few concepts is the answer to that. Like, stick=the dive. If you don't defend stick, they'll just run stick over and over and over again all the way down the field. They rep their 6 concepts over and over and over and over again, until they can just execute it, and that 6 yard throw is the same thing as a handoff to them. Different skills, different bodies, different concepts, but underneath it is "we reduce the number of things we ask our guys to do to a VERY streamlined set of actions, and because of that, we don't need to recruit guys who can do EVERYTHING, just guys who can do THOSE things very well, and because of that we don't have to recruit the same guys everybody else does, and guys can outperform their recruiting rankings". I feel like that should seem very familiar to you guys. [/QUOTE]
