now just becuase the wishbone offense isnt rated as strong doesnt mean its bad, infact it could be one of the best if not the best running offensive playbook in the game if used correctly there are 5 things you need to have for you to have succses in this offense
1. great O-Line, this may be obvious but you need to have a O-line that can understand the playbook, is a decent pass blocker, and a excellent run blocker and make sure that you dont sign a guy that is in the mid-80 and a great pass blocker becuase they will suck at run blocking
2. this also has to do with O-line and it has worked for me. ok so get tackles on both ends that are athletic and has great burst off of the line so your running backs have blockers ahead of them. for the interior line men, get them bigger and really strong with excellent impact blocks with some agility to make holes quicker, (the center has to be the best of the O-line
3. the QB position is a very tricky thing for this offense, what you need is a QB that can run becuase the O-line will be more of a running type o-line and does not need elite throwing power but they do need to have a high learning and accuracy with a quick release i would not recommend andre woodson due to his slow release, when i had him in my 1st year he was sacked like 50 times and it was not the o-line becuase he had like 6-7 seconds to throw, and do not think the handoff time does not matter becuase it does
4. WR and TE for this you need sure handed big receivers that can also contribute in the run blocking, the nice thing about the wishbone is that you cut down on your money becuase you only need 1 good WR and TE,unless they are injury prone then i would get a decent to good backup
5. the most critical position in the offense the BACKS, (FB and RB's) from my experience its best to have in the backfield 1 running back that has pure speed and agility and excel and next to him, you would have you starting running back and he has to be elite and i mean ELITE 2 names that come to mind is boar jackson or lemarcus taylor, in this offense, for me boar jackson puts up 200 yard games and hasnt been injured. and finnaly FB this is a very important position that is easy to find players for you can have a very good blocking back or a complete beast trucking RB that you convert to FB that is the inside running back .
hope this helps and good luck :wink:
