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.
Pistol
The Pistol offense allows the quarterback to better read over center with shotgun formations. It punishes unbalanced defensive lines in the running game with the ability to hand the ball off quickly to either side of the field.
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 Zone Run
The West Coast Zone Run is designed to utilize short passing to keep possession of the ball
