www.flexboneassociation.com/Coaches - I have created another site, very similar to the split back veer association. This site is dedicated to the flexbone offense. Dont get all over me about having a site about the SBV and the Flex. I like both offenses and always like to share/learn more about BOTH offenses. Please read the front page of the site for the mission statement. Please visit the link which will take you to the site. I would also like to populate my list of flexbone teams and flexbone champions. So if you have any to add please e-mail or PM me. Thanks!! Huey - Ive linked my new site back to this one also!!

I was beligerant about a year ago about the flexbone, but I would just like to make the point that it is a great system if you run it like NAVY. The caveat is this, try to run the Wing-T without a tight end, and your season will be short.
The Flexbone is one of the most enjoyable offenses to run, especially with Qb's like Carney and Hampton. Remember that it is an offense based on evening teams up and not blocking someone eighty per cent of the time and it is in my opinion if run this way, the best offense in the world.

Flexbone is a great offense to run at the lower levels, especially if you have a superior athlete at QB or a stud at FB. Midline is a great play, but blocking the toss is tough (usually asking a skill guy to make a block on a LB on the run). I think defenses have caught up, and that's why you see less of it being run with success.

also
we are now starting to see the development of the option from the gun expand to the point where the stupid tv announcers think it is some high tech new fangled complex offense
when really, it is just old wishbone double and triple options from the gun

I agree tog. The only problem running the flexbone on the HS level, at least outside of Texas is in the fact that you cannot cut on the perimeter.

That is a great comment, I have sat in front of the TV and said the exact same thing.

What else is funny is when you see Arkansas or Florida run their wildcat stuff and the announcers are just spellbound. I say to my self "Hey fellas, its just the single wing".

But do it out of the gun and they think you are "cutting edge". LOL. |

Have heard more than one old coach (which I am a member of now) say that the toughest things to defense is the option and the unbalanced line.

Midline,
We're working hard at being an SBV team. How do you use the unbalanced line with it?
