Basically the modern West Coast guys... though Jon's west coast system was a sort of hybrid of the West Coast and '90s Dallas style power running.

If I had to guess, I think he'll go 12 instead of 21, singleback wing slot. He likes twins to the weak side, and a wing is basically the modern FB.

I'd go Pedersen and replace the zone runs with power runs.

Or just run Spider 2 Y Banana every play.
Thanks for the info! It has helped!
