WRCompatible Schemes
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.
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.
