This archetype is used in the following schemes:
Air Raid
A variant of spread, Air Raid gives the quarterback control of the play at the line of scrimmage. The offense focuses on passing plays but trusts the quarterback to diagnose the defense and call audibles when running lanes open up.
Multiple Power Run
The Multiple Power Run uses traditional pulling linemen and lead blockers in the run game to grind through defenses. A quality Field General QB helps convert critical 3rd and short situations
Run And Shoot
The Run N' Shoot depends on high awareness receivers to adjust their routes in response to different coverages. It uses pre-snap motion and multiple receiver formations to help identify coverages.
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 Power Run
The Vertical Power Run focuses on tempting the defense to load the box with extra defenders via a commitment to the power run game, then punishes them downfield with play action and shot passes.
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
