This objectively isn't the case. Maybe in high school, sure. In college/pros the talent gap isn't that significant and the fundamentals are drilled in fairly well. Teams that take care of the high-level functions are the ones that succeed because they find an edge and exploit it. Now if you're comparing teams like Georgia and Georgia State, sure, there is a big gap, but between peers, scheme will make the difference. In college you need a HC that understands the game at a high level and can implement an offense that players a) have fun in and b) put them in the best positions to score. My favorite example is in the MAC, where the talent is almost completely even. An offensive guru like Dino Babers or Sean Lewis can waltz in and rocket to the top of the standings after spending a year in the dumps basically by scheme alone. Art Briles turned around Baylor again, by scheme alone. The coaches that tend to get wiped out are former players, rah-rah defensive coordinators, disciplinarians, and people with no charisma that can't recruit. Because they may have been able to slip by like that in the 1980s, but almost every coaching staff in the country has borrowed concepts from run-n-shoot, air raid, misdirection, and option style offenses.

Well that didn't go the way you hoped

Dick LeBeau too. There was a resurgence in NFL Offensive Units using it in the late 1990's through mid-2000's. Dick LeBeau and that 1-Gap, 3-4 Zone Blitz Defense snuffed it out pretty good.

@@josephruiz7233 A 3-4 isn't quite as effective IMO because a 4-3 provides a more stout pass rush against a passing game. Remember now, a 3-4 has a heavy NT who is there to clog the middle and disrupt the run, supplemented by relatively small, quick DE and LB. The Run n Shoot is heavy on the passing game, and there's no TE or FB to worry about. A huge DT is therefore unnecessary. With a 4-3, there are four horses going after that QB. A base nickel or dime makes sense to cover all those receivers. 4 LB isn't quite as effective IMO. But anyway, there's a reason that offense died-- it just doesn't work as your base.

@Jory Folker I don't know where, how, or why you took my point and walked it down that path. First, the Buddy Ryan 46 was a much more blitzy defense. Those Eagles corners were always on an island. You do realize Wade Phillips was Buddy's DC in Philly right? Anyway, I'm not a fan of the 3-4 because you're swapping out size on the edge for a big NT in the middle. Since nobody runs the ball like they did back then, a big NT is a dinosaur. Small, fast 3-4 outside LBs don't do so well as pass rushers against 320-lb tackles with quick feet. Sure, Micah Parsons looks sexy right now, but that shit will wear him down real quick. A big offensive line wears down a 3-4, period. We can argue it until the cows come home. I'm a 4-3 guy who believes in lockdown corners and sending the house.

@Jory Folker We're gonna have to disagree. A 3-4 NT is always going to be a bigger man than a 4-3 DT. And the reason for a 3-4 alignment is to have greater flexibility in disguising who you're sending. If you don't have a stud OLB like Lawrence Taylor, Matt Judon, etc. it's just not worth playing it. Give me an extra 30-60lb of meat on a 4-3 DE instead.

SSOtv passed?

How many W did they have that season ?

Tim Hurst lol

Tim Hurst 1995, they made the playoffs at 9-7 but lost Green Bay in the wildcard. (Just looked it up lol)

The defense wasn't the best that year but the offense was nice.

@@thomasalexander2108 the 1995 falcons defense was easily one of the worst in the league, and if I remember correctly they set records for giving up pass yards.Shows you how effective that offense is

If that's what you see... You need glasses.

The run and shoot qb's struggle becuase in the pro style offense you need to read coverages, know man or zone,who is coming, what protection to add, if you need a hot route, all within 18 seconds before the snap, then they need to go through their progression from x,y,z, etc. The run and shoot is snap the ball amd throw to the open receiver. It boils everything the pro does into a scheme for a qb to just read and react. It works against college teams with less talent but you take that to a top 10 team with talent and a decent coach and they can force you to change your game plan really quick. It takes years of practice to get the NFL pro style offense down. Thats why Tebow wasnt successful.

Detroit Lions in the early 90's with Mouse Davis the NFL hated him.

You literally can't defend it like the option. Plays are called based on how the defense is lined-up. I loved it!

You didn't give shit. That offense got exposed in a hurry at the pro level when you had a cadre of corners who could jam at the line and pass rushers who get to the QB in a hurry.

@@RavishingBeyond Ask Kansas City about this offense when they faced The Houston Oilers.Warren Moon on 12-26-90 went ballistic throwing for a career high 527 yds with a final score of 27-10 really it should have been 54-10!!!!!!

@@dwightlove3704 How many pro teams are using the run and shoot these days? It's a gimmick offense. It absolutely sucks in the red zone and for milking the clock with a lead too.

@@RavishingBeyond Teams in the NFL might not use it as a whole but they use formations that had the influence of the RUN-N-SHOOT ask the '99 Rams The Greatest Show On Turf.

+jeoh93 Nothing...neither is the west coast offense...it's ALL the exact same thing!

+jeoh93 spread offense is a blanket term but generally you are spread to run or "Spread to pass", this would be an example of "spread to pass" i.e. an air raid offense or the run n shoot. Keep in mind the seam read is only a concept and the spread to run teams can still run a version of it in their drop back pass package

Spread Offense was more run-first oriented O. R&S/Air Raid is pass on 1st, 2nd & 3rd downs....

The run and shoot focuses on the wide receivers having dynamic routes. Meaning that they are reading the defense and adjusting their routes mid play.

This is a read and react offense. This doesn't require the same level of talent to run.

vaultsuit These guys are talking football and about formations and you’re paying attention to their pants? Nigga, u gay?

@@quinnschroetlin We’ve evolved to match up football.

mja49ers1 Yes The Run-N-Shoot worked ask Kansas City about it when Warren Moon went ballistic on 12-16-90 threw for a career best 527 yds.

West Coast O integrating R&S elements as does Zone Read/Spread Option. NFL is copycat Offense. Sorta like Bruce Lee's JKD theory....

Seam Read 1) Safety cross your face you cross him on post. But if he crosses your face going to the middle of field keep straight up the field. 2) He drops you stop and make in cut i.e. dig route to open window to QB. 3) Safety even i.e. flat footed you're leaving streak.

At 7 yards he knows what's happening, at 10 he knows what he will do.
