Okay as most of you know I am an I formation/full house guy who has relied on the belly and option to move the ball. The more I look at the double slot the more I want to be able to encorporate it into my overall offensive plan because of personnel and because I am really starting to like the fly sweep and everything else I can do from it. In the end I would like to have some sort of "Holy Grail" of plays that would be run from either I formation or double slot without much new learning. I want to maintain the ability to smashmouth but also have the capability to run the fly and option. Option of course is great from the flexbone but what else?

I would think you'd still be able to run your belly (if I am thinking of the right play) by motioning a slot, like the option, into the backfield.
And really, you can run most basic I-form plays out of double slot by using motion and such. A few years ago Air Force used a lot more I-formations and motion, to run basic power and counter plays.

Since I have done what you are talking about, I'll give my two cents... You can do: Anything to the FB, Option, Buck sweep (may be a new play... depends how you run ctr. sweep/ctr. trey). You can run pretty much anything that you could in a slot I. We did not run B gap power plays out of the dbl. slot/wing set- mostly because of timing and practice time. I've seen teams do that though. We did run what we call belly (fake to FB give to HB, who has come back to an I location by motion; pull playside G). It was a good play for us.
We mainly run toss out of that a lot (DW toss play), as well as a counter back to the stationary wing/slot (ie: motion LHB, trap to RHB). We also run FB trap (off of Buck sweep series), buck sweep and Boot (off of Buck Sweep action)... QB keep has been a great play for us (best runner was our QB the past two years). If you are willing to devote time to it, you can do a lot. Plus, being in a set which lends itself more to the passing game than full house, Defenses are less likely to hit you with 9 or 10 in the box (for a while anyway... we've had some games where we threw for 220 yds. on 5 for 6 passing, because they insisted on having 10 in the box).
