    In your opinion, what is the best pro-style offense and why?

    I've become a Coryell guy, but it and WCO really seem to be more sound philosophically. If you want to run and pass well, in its purest forms, Coryell. EP is too rooted in pounding it.

    added run and shoot since now and again you still get a ************ trying to run that in the NFL.

    actually the Panthers offense was more of a Joe Gibbs/Redskins style... also the Coryell playbook was pretty much what Kurt Warner & the Rams ran

    I still prefer the EP. By and large, I think every offense now has a little bit of everything, so the question might be a little trivial. And the systems are only as good as the playcaller.

    I haven't noticed a pure R&S team lately. Has there been?

    I enjoy watching an offense that pounds it opponent with the running game. I guess it comes from growing up watching John Riggins. I think if you are objective though the WCO has had the most success. I do not want to see us go WCO though. I think we still have the pieces in place for a power running game.

    sure, they all have plenty of everything, and it's about how it's run.

    Really, being a WCO guy, it's amazing how much of Coryell made it into the modern version, and Coryell and WCO make up a big part of it. They're even run similarly, now. The verbiage from Coryell is just easier to understand. It reminds me of Madden and I've played it maybe 3 times in the last decade. 989 makes sense to you if you've played it once or played HS football 13 years ago. That's the difference to me, that with additional formations and shifts you have a thousand plays, that you can understand as opposed to 500 you have to remember.

    buffalo before chan was r+s. Glanville is technically a pro coach again and runs it, though technically both are the same OC, Turk Schonert (the guy who ruined Weinke, if you need to blame someone for something that never should've worked).


    What about the EP system do you like? granted I was in favor of it when implemented here, but never totally knew that Henning was, in fact, a Coryell guy cucked by his head coach. Seems like Belichick's secret is EP with a Coryell slot, but not a lot of people get the option routes that truly entails, or why Henning was lost without Ricky Proehl even with a better WR like Key.

    I just feel like it's the most flexible. I've seen New England run sprint right option. I've seen those teams use both the vertical and horizontal stretch, instead of favoring one over the other. You can go smashmouth or you can go "Air Erhardt". I feel like it's the most versitle. I'm really just starting to take a hard look at each one, though, so my opinion could change.

    lol

    Yeah, I forgot about Buffalo's experiment with Run & Shoot a few years ago. Didn't they cuck Schonert in the preseason, though? I can't remember if that was a true R&S or just an no-huddle WCO.
