[QUOTE="CEB, post: 896324, member: 4905"] I saw a couple responses to this but I’ll go ahead and officially put my head on the chopping block ;) I’ll just start by throwing out the I... if we can’t recruit lineman, power football is suicide. In my opinion, this is an example of a detrimental unique approach. If we start getting lineman, that’s just gravy. we can be even more successful with spread/ option/ misdirection stuff. As jgtengineer says, the “flexbone” or “spread option” we ran incorporates elements of all of those. The formation gives more options than any of those alone and it works with a personnel package that is pretty well suited to players you can get when you aren’t in the top half of power 5. It’s balanced like the wishbone, but puts A Backs in better position as downfield threat and better angle for second level blocks. You can run all of the veer, single wing, wishbone concepts from it. My personal opinion is that it’s interesting as well as effective... I love to geek out on schemes in football and basketball (give me a motion, flex, back cut offense every day of the week and twice on Sunday: one on one clear out stuff is crap... not to derail). Zone blocking is boring... but if we can find a way to win with it, I’m on board. As for other “schemes” with regard to football, I am open to them. I’d be interested in opening up run and shoot elements, although some here would go into convulsions if we did it from “that” formation. Air raid? Maybe, but the one thing we seem to find around these parts are really good backs... seems a shame not to run the ball. One issue id have with air raid (if I haven’t given enough fuel to the discussion yet) is that I would lose my **** if we lined up in the shotgun on 4th and goal at the 1. :ROFLMAO: That ought to do it [/QUOTE]
