What Type of Offense Do you Run?

[Weezer21]

I've been experiencing success in year 2 of my franchise mode with the Seahawks.

I drafted (and now start) a QB that has good short accuracy and good legs, so I make use of it.

I pound it up the middle with Lynch, the guy's a beast, always falls forward and gains that extra 1-2 yards. I also throw slants over the middle and short curls over the middle.

This will cause the other team's D to stack 8 in the box, and the corners/safeties will also creep in closer to the middle of the field, that's when I bring in Steve Slaton on some off-tackle and stretch running to get on the outside, and hit some short out routes with Rice and Williams.

There's not really a name for it, but it is basically all about setting up for those outside routes, because those are the ones that break it for 6.

Myself I like to run the basic pro offense, HB, FB, TE, 2WR. Run the ball first most of the time, try to setup playaction passes. But I will spread the defense out if that is not getting the job done.

Is there a good spread style offense?

Looking for good 3 and 4 WR sets, with WR screen plays.

Buffalo and Detroit playbook is nice. Both have the pistol formation as well which is pretty cool for an NFL team.

I run very heavily with an occasional short to medium throw over the middle. I try to run at least 60% of the time. I do this because it wears down defenses and controls the clock. If you can learn how to do it it's an unbeatable tactic.

The Patriots playbook is your friend. Its pretty much the Air Raid version of the Spread. A lot of getting 5 players out into patterns, High-Low combos, horizontal and vertical streches. Plus they have TE screens, WR srceens w/ TE motioning to block, bubble screens. Id say this is what you'd want to take a look at.

Same for me. The only difference is rather that do a lot of short throws, my passes lean towards deep play action routes. It's the most effective way to make the whole CPU comeback at the end of games complaint some people have mentioned nonexistent.
