Compatible Schemes
This archetype is used in the following schemes:
Multiple Zone Run
The multiple zone scheme is a balanced offense that is very difficult for the defense to predict.The team can run out of multiple receiver sets and throw out of power formations.
Spread
The spread offense utilizes shotgun formations with extra receivers to "spread" defenses horizontally. Scrambler QBs create an extra running threat that pressures both sides of the defense in the run game.
Vertical Zone Run
The vertical zone run uses agile linemen to create multiple holes for the halfback to choose from and forces the defense into assignment conflicts by taking downfield shots via play action pass
West Coast Spread
The West Coast Spread is designed to keep the defense guessing with a focus on short passing horizontally across the field. With the defense spread thin, the quarterback is looking for openings to scramble while reading his routes.
