Icon5 Air Coryell Offense (making a playbook)

After reading about this air raid/ground pound offense using short to long routes and running the rock to eat the clock and getting deep at anytime in a fast pace flow (no huddle?). I thought this would be the perfect offense for my huskers and it fits my style of offense very well. Can anyone give the formations or sets I would have to have to run this offense and make it in a custom playbook?

Thanks,

John

Re: Air Coryell Offense (making a playbook)

Coryell's system was mainly a 1-RB, 3-WR system, that included a dynamic TE (Winslow).

If you look at the St. Louis Rams' offense between 1999-2001 (aka the greatest show on turf), Dick Vermeil stated they were running a lot of Coryell's system. They are the best example I can cite, although they didn't have a very good pass catching TE, their 3 WRs were excellent.(and fast)

They were definately not a power run team. A lot of seam routes and floods into the secondary where the QB is getting the ball out of his hand with timing.

Air Raid is something completely different.

Would you consider the Colts of the past couple of years?

WRs - Harrison, Wayne, Stokely (the past) Collie, Garcon, etc.

TE - Clark, Tomme

RB - James, Addai, Brown

Its possible to do.. But its going to be tricky as far as personel goes...

As far as formations.. I would use Single back spread formations.. (Alabama playbook has a bunch) and probably pistol formations. (for power running game with spread) Then throw in some TTU style shotguns for the Air Raid part.

When I think of the Colts, they use more of the "K-Gun" system...(1990's Buffalo Bills w/ Jim Kelly) mainly because Ted Marchibroda was the architect of both offenses. It's the same kind of personnel as far as 3 WR, 1 RB, 1 TE... but the philosophy is a bit different.

Marchibroda is the guy who introduced the "Levels" concept to the modern passing game... everyone from June Jones, to Bill Walsh borrowed that concept in their own play designs and you see it now even in NCAA and Madden video games today.

Coryell was more of a vertical guy.... put 3 guys to one side, let em all run verticals to create seams in zones and pick the one who's open for example.

Norv Turner and Jason Garrett run Coryell-influenced offenses.

Re: Air Coryell Offense (making a playbook)

This discussion reminds me of a very interesting book that discusses football strategies and their origins:

http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Sweat-Ch...=operasport-20

"Blood, Sweat, & Chalk."

I would recomend this to any football fan.
