In brief, I come from the background of a Single-back, multi-set West Coast Style Offensive context. I have recently accepted a position that involves an offense that seems to be predicated upon the "Straight-T" set--basically our base seems to be the three-back, backfield set that runs the plays like a cross buck trap. our blocking scheme seems to be predicated upon down blocking and trap blocking--but much is unclear and from those that are making the decision I am getting very little information. It basically appears that they do not really have a full grasp of the "what it is?" Or how this should be properly done.
The approach and the scheme seems very linear and not well thought out or "War-gamed." Additionally it looks one dimensional with great opportunity for opponents to exploit. Further, we are in a conference that the other teams we will face have superior athletes--literally, bigger, stronger, faster opponents. But I am a firm believer that there are still ways to win.
However, this does not provide me opportunity for excuse with the responsibility I have accepted and I believe I have to do everything I can to get the players fully and intelligently ready to play.
So, if there is any one who has expertise in this play--and assuming there is a scheme implied--can you please point me in the right direction. My concerns rest upon how this scheme handles multiple and hybrid-type fronts; shifting defenders, zone blitzes... Coming from the WCO perspective I have answers as to how I would solve these problems--even within the sets but the key decision makers seem to want their system to remain pure to whatever it is.
Any advice, direction or guidance...web pages...concepts...please send it my way.
