New A-11 offense

Crazy. Yeah, it would only work against kids.

The pass-rushing lanes are HUGE and who wants to trust an NFL lineman to take a pitch in the backfield?

I was confused how linemen could be eligible receivers, but it said that they can take backwards passes or pitches. If the linemen are behind the QB, he better take off FORWARD, not pitch the ball back to a lineman who just got burned trying to block someone. Only in a busted-down play could I ever see a lineman touching the ball. If he does, I'd imagine it would be a 10-yard loss.

Isn't this offense just the Run and Shoot on steroids?

No, it's the Run and Shoot on meth.

Way too gimmicky to ever get to the NFL level

Can't run it in college. In the NCAA this offense is not legal because there is added language in the formation rule that says 'it must be obvious that a kick may be attempted.'

Not bad as a change of pace, but I wouldn't run it as a base offense. Once teams see it a couple of times you can prepare for it and stop it. Problem is at the HS level many coaches don't watch much film or scheme well.

Surely, you must be joking. In my day we watched film on every opponent. With the better technology today there is no excuse for not watching.

Depends on the school. I went to a rather small high school and we didn't watch any film. We had so called scouting reports on teams, and since most of the coaches knew each other you had a basic idea of what sort of things they did.

I agree, there is no excuse for not watching. But, I've recently coached at that level and many of the coaches don't work as hard as they should. There's a big difference between showing the kids film for a hour or so and actually taking the time to break it down and come up with schemes in a coaches meeting.

The A-11 offense will take my intramural flag football team all the way.

Would work in HS, not so much in college, no way in hell in the NFL.

SO going to use this in little league this year.

If only Madden would allow such a formation.
