Re: Best scheme fits for certain offensive/defensive systems
Based off of how I want to run my offense. I'm also a spread guy, tend to be spread-to-run, often with a combination of gun and pistol, and the occasional I form.
I think it's important to decide what you want your offense to look like in-game. Not just what formations, but which plays, and in what order. Your scheme is your philosophy.
I always want mobile quarterbacks because I think the ability to scramble is important, and I like to run read option and triple option stuff.
I always want the best back possible period. The stronger the better, but I don't mind having a speed back. Or having one of each, as inspired by USC under Carroll (Bush/White... McKnight/Johnson). Like I don't really want a guy slower than 87 but he doesn't have to be 94+, though that's great. Being able to pull away in the open field is great.
I prefer receiving tight-ends because I have had a TE drop passes on fourth down or touchdown plays.
I like to have a fullback, though their utility is very limited if not under center. Moving either a halfback or tight end there can be great to make them a running and receiving threat. Right now I have two very fast fullbacks that are base fullbacks, though, so they're fast.
I prefer faster receivers because I need them to stretch the field. Height is nice, but it doesn't matter if they can't get open.
I'm not picky enough about linemen. I'd go pass block first, because run blocking is easier.
I'm honestly not picky enough about anything besides QB. I'll adapt my scheme to the personnel.
...
I tend to play a lot of different fronts on defense. I want to run five back though. I'll play 4-3 and 3-4, but 3-3-5 has become my defense of choice. So I want depth at DB, especially speed. I want to be able to move between 4-2-5 with three safeties or three corners.
I want fast linebackers, too. And depth there. Because I like to switch to 2-4-5. It's good to have a strong one that can be a hybrid pass rusher type. If you can find a really tall linebacker to play middle, that can be helpful in pass coverage.
Pass rushers are important to me, but having at least one really big strong interior lineman is good. You want to be able to blow up the run.
I just like having hybrid type players that I can move around a lot to try to negate the no huddle. And I feel like 3-3-5 is most flexible.
