This archetype is used in the following schemes:
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.
West Coast Power Run
The West Coast Power Run creates weakness in the defense by stretching it out horizontally with short passing. The half backs then attack those weaknesses for big gains.
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.
West Coast Zone Run
The West Coast Zone Run is designed to utilize short passing to keep possession of the ball
