    Default Favorite Style of Offense

    OK, with football season almost here, I see some discussion about offenses. So, I got to wondering what some of our favorite types of offenses are. Since this is football 101, say what your favorite offensive style is and why. As I'm sure everyone can tell I love the spread triple option like Navy and Georgia Tech. It cuts down on the fronts and coverages you see from opposing defenses and requires them to play assignment football. Sure, you can blitz and stunt against it, but you call the wrong blitz or stunt and it's 'seeya'. You can stop the option, but it's the other stuff that gets you. If you strengthen your perimeter defense to stop pitch, you leave the interior open to plays like trap and midline. You try to strengthen the interior of your defense, you're vulnerable to perimeter options. Try to stack the box and get your secondary overplaying the option, and you're vulnerable to the passing game, particularly play action. The big drawback to a triple option offense is how much time you have to spend if you're going to have your qb read it. It does cut down on the number of plays you can effectively run. Some coaches will call give or keep to take the decision process out of the qb's hands and be able to run more plays.
    I also like a good spread passing attack, like Texas Tech. I love the NFL, but one thing I really like about the college game is the wide variety of offensive systems you see compared to the NFL.

    My favorite offense is the '98 Broncos offense.

    The run and shoot Hawaii ran with June Jones.
    That was awesome.
    Also the Spread and Coryell.

    In real life? Must be the Broncos, i'm a West Coast fan.

    As far as the video games go, I don't need a running back. I like to pass the ball.

    :facepalm: on these replies...

    I like the offenses that pound the rock and wears down opposing teams with their physical style of play. Love it. I'd take the Wing T over any of that spread pvssy shit any day of the week.

    Line up and see who the real men are... None of that spread "I don't have enough talent to contend with the big dawgs so I run a gimmick offense" bullshit.

    Yeah, I think when you factor in TOP, yards per rush, yards per pass, and pts, that Denver team is extremely hard to beat, especially when you consider how often they called off the dogs very early in games that year. But stylistically, I liked watching that offense. It was beautiful.

    I prefer the opposite; a balanced and extremely deceptive attack with no real featured guys at the skill positions. 4 or 5 man rotation at the RB spots with the FB and HB sharing carries. A TE used primarily as a pass receiver and good enough that he is never off the field on 3rd and Long (i.e. you would never see a 4 WR set.) Both WR's complementary and equally used, i.e. no such thing as a "number one" WR. The most important thing is to keep the defense guessing, at every level. Fool them enough and they get talking to themselves. Misdirection, draws, traps, screens, and a good mid-range passing attack down the middle of the field all help set each other up. Actually '98 Denver is a pretty good model for this, though obviously they were blessed with a superb HB in Davis - negating my own RBBC preference in this case.

    The straight ahead "pound the rock" style is not only boring but too often ineffective. The other guys get paid too, and unless you have a clear edge in personnel you will lose. If you have weaker personnel you will lose badly

    I strongly disagree... My high school went 13-1 in FL's class 4A with that style of offense... Our biggest guy on the OL was 6'0 250.. It can be done. We were a bunch of white boys and we whooped everyones ass with physical running and play action pass..

    I really like how the Giants offense.. I love how they use 3 seperate RBs with completely different styles. The most effective thing to do on offense is to change shit up after consistent, similar play calling.

    this area was mostly designed for X's an O's ..

    not to say this is not a good discussion, but if Y'all have some links to those Ideas it is even better..

    Not everyone here understands the terms used.. and this is the perfect forum to allow them to learn or see it on a chalk board..

    No question is considered stupid in here..

    this is a place of learning..

    I have now changed my answer to everything (EVERYTHING) that dreadnought said or the oh so fun triple option. Almost forgot I was a Nebraska fan.

    Wyatt's double wing has given my defenses more trouble than anything we have faced over the last 15 years. It takes away your stunts and blitzes. It forces your corners to become tacklers and takes the safety out of pass coverage. It takes away your pursuit.

    Offensively it doesn't require exceptional personnel and uses a limited number of plays. It pounds and pounds on the defense to stop the sweep, power, and trap but when you do the pass kills you for big yardage.

    Next time the Broncos win the SB, I'll look at that offense and say, "This is my favorite offense!"
