i say number 4. number 4 is the texas tech approach, why try and run out the clock when you can score more points. running out the clock means you have less chances to score.
so i like number 4.

2) Balanced offense - finesse combined with power and pass. Take what they give you. "Take what they give you", hell. Take away the defense's ability to stop the run on 1st and 2nd down. Once that happens, all your paths are open. Any fool can pound the rock up the middle -- excellence lies in convincing defenders to vacate the middle BEFORE you pound the rock. "Finesse" is for hairdressers; I use deception. Establish a point of focus on the ground and then use misdirection to turn aggression and pursuit against the defense. Have counters and play-action available for every core running play in your arsenal. Focus your dropback passing game on a few multi-potent packages that will work against any sound coverage/blitz scheme they throw at you. When they go unsound to stop you, have screens and pass-action runs ready to hurt them. That's my version of #2. savefile.com/files/7446243 |

I agree with #2 in the sense of "I need to be better at doing something than they are at defending it." What I mean is that "how good" your team is at throwing or running doesn't mean anything by itself, it's all about whether you are better at throwing or running than your opponent is at defending it, and part of this is not letting them key on one thing.
If I am the best passing team in my district, but I play a team that is pretty damn good at passing D but absolutely terrible at running D (no size, etc) I'm going to win the game running the ball. I don't think that is "going away from my strength"--it's still my strength, I'm just judging "strength" vs. my opponent, rather than abstractly. We all know what it is like to have one of your best talent years but it seems like everyone else is loaded too and being disappointed, and having a successful year when you didn't think you had the type of talent that could win that many games.
The successful one-dimensional teams? They are just better at passing or running than everyone else is at defending it. I've never trusted my ability to coach a team to be that dominant at one thing or to have that kind of talent every year, so I think #2 has to be the answer, from a philosophy standpoint.
Sorry for the wordy response.

#1 ....COVERS IT ALL! Run the ball down their throats, then - when they are sure they know what you are doing - play action pass them!

Our offensive philosopy is very simple - Get First Downs and Touchdowns. Period.

#1!
Who says you can't "take" what the defense gives you, when you are running the ball?
As far as i remember, people still run the ball for some reason, probably because no one has really gotten a defense to stop a inside/outside balanced run game.

Gotta agree with Groundchcuk here. I believe that being able to throw whenever you want to is being balanced. I'd like to run the ball 75% of the time and of the 25% of the time that I throw have it be on 1st & 10 or 3rd & 2 and expect to be successful. Now I believe the defense has something to worry about. So I guess we'd be a #2
