Coaches,
I am trying to figure out the pros and cons of leaving the Y on the right all of the time alas Mumme, Hatcher. Has anyone done this? Did you ever feel limited in the run game?
I know it would definitely help with practice time? Any opinions or suggestions would be great.
Thanks.

We haven't done it, but being a veer team it might not be bad for us. Run iso, toss and midline to the right veer & counter to the left. It could work I guess, never thought about it...

Pros
1) Keeps Meshers consistent.
2) Simplifies plays.

Who does it on the H.S. level?

As we move to no huddle this year I have been tempted to do it. The other thing that I am considering is to just have the multiple receivers always are on the wide side of the field.

We have one team in our area who did it last year. I believe the air raid teams that purchased the Franklin system do it. I am just trying to simplify, but not limit my already limited offense.

We do it, and haven't regretted it one bit. Picked it up at Texas tech, they keep Y on the right as well ( we also run air raid).
I went back and looked at tape and saw how little the defense adjusted to Y on the left the year before. It hardly made an impact, so I figured let's keep it simple for us.
It cuts down on learning by the players, it makes installing plays that much easier (everyone runs their route, no matter where they line up), and I don't feel it limits us. We prefer to be good at a few things, instead of trying to run a lot of things only mediocre. In the beginning I always thought that we were too limited, but after one season I am convinced that it is the best way for us right now.
Look at Texas tech, they do itand I wouldn't consider their offense 'limited'

Biggest con is what you expect out of Y in the running game. Many good teams leave their receivers on opposite sides. The Colts leave X and Z on opposite sides and just change Y/H. The Airraid guys just use Y.
The problem comes if Y is your tight end position and you can't have your formation strength to both sides. If you run power, some counters, maybe even zones this could be an issue. The Airraid guys are obviously not concerned about this, since they don't use Y in the run game and their runs are deceptions, quick dives and traps, or draws.
