    A good DE or a fast blitzing LB would plant that QB at the higher levels.

    It wouldn't be legal at higher levels.

    You have to keep five offensive linemen in the game minimum in the NFL don't you?

    The interior 5 players on the line are not eligible receivers but the rules only apply to forward passes. Any player may legally catch a backwards or lateral pass. It sounds like these guys are pulling guards etc. into routes in the flats and backfield and using the unknown of which QB will get the snap to buy a little time.

    Actually I think their offense is designed such that they can motion into a formation where any of the players is eligible. 5 would always be ineligible on a specific play, but which 5 would change based on how they motion before the snap.

    The QB is always going to have to get rid of the ball in a hurry in that offense so all the routes would have to be short.

    Sounds like about 100 yards/game in illegal motion or formation penalties. It looked like they ran a lot of draws out of that formation. Spread the D to the sidelines and run it up the gut.

    What I saw of it was real complicated, looks difficult to impliment at the HS level. However, the article I read said they lost thier first two games running a combo of the A11 and some traditional sets. They went to the A11 85%-90% of th time and won 7 straight.
    I love the creativity of it, sounds like they created the offense with the rule book in one hand and pushed every rule to the limit. Gotta credit them for having success with something so different. Little West Coast, little Run & Shoot, little Spread...interesting combo.
