WRCompatible Schemes
This archetype is used in the following schemes:
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
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.
