West Coast Offense - Good, Bad or Ugly?

You must be joking. Maybe football scout isn't the job for you.

He's a fan of Ade Jimoh! Obviously scouting talented FB players isn't his forte!:silly:

it'll take time to adjust (maybe a full year) and auburn's WCO isn't the same as the NFL version with better competition and MUCH smaller windows for completions.

That, coupled with the speed of the offense, as well as the speed of the defensive reaction to it.

What is encouraging though is the fact Jason is not a virgin to this particular offense, despite being played on a higher level. It's only natural that it will take a little while to make the adjustment, I still envision the offense being productive even during the process of the learning curve.

The west Coast offense is the most fuel efficient offense PERIOD. It caters to every situation possible in todays game. One aspec that is HIGHLY overlooked is the TE position. It is a position that can make or break the system. Two tight ends that can catch and block are best because the westcoast offense provides more sweeps and zone running plays. Also the intermediate threat is potent considering a big body can make the plays across the middle and in the flats.

I hope that Tyler Ecker has built up his skills with his physique and is willing to get serious on offense. We will need him more in this system than ever. Todd Yoder is a decent TE, but not efficient enough to be considered a 4th option in many sets.

Personally I like this offense because on many occasions we can expect to see both Betts and Portis in the back field with 'pick your poison' type plays.

Although it was on the college level, I would like for many of you to google Auburn's 2004 season and watch how truly west coast inspired sets and plays torched the SEC and the college landscape.

Or refer to USC's dominance over the past 4-6 years...
