Re: Power coast offense

What's the Power Coast offense?

Is it a run heavy offense out of the spread or is it a balanced offense from the I-formation?

This could literally be anything.

Re: Power coast offense

I think it's basically a West Coast offense, but instead of using the short passing game as the primary focus to move the ball (Traditional West Coast), the power north/south running game is the primary focus while maintaining West Coast passing concepts when needed.

Think Jim Harbaugh. It's shootoff of the west coast offense, that runs a lot of 2 tight end sets, and focuses on a power running game. Power Coast uses more 22 personnel, and uses more pulling linemen than a traditional west coast.

Wouldn't that be the exact description of a Smashmouth or Power Running Offense? Where is the West Coast influence? The entire concept of the WCO is based on establishing a short passing game to open up the run and still generally using base personnel (in contrast to Spread Offenses).

Re: Power coast offense

If by power coast offense you mean like Jim Harbaugh. Then I would say Stanford would probably be a template for the offense.

I said this is in the offensive strategy thread but think it is important TE's are going to be your hybrid player. You need a good blocking and receiving TE to really make this offense go in my opinion. He can take the defense out of man coverage(by beating lb's and safeties) and dominate DB in the run game.

Obviously strong running blocking lineman are important if your going to run this offense. Also the FB is basically needs to be a faster version of a guard in this offense. Not necessarily as good of a run blocker but he needs to be able to hold up because you will be in a lot of I and offset-I formations running the ball.

But again I would look at Stanford's personnel and use that as template to building your team. You may want to look at teams like Michigan State and Iowa for TE templates. Those teams are also agood run first prostyle teams.


Hope this helps

There are similar concepts, but they aren't the same thing. Smashmouth can be run out of bone formations, and typically features the fullback as a ballcarrier more than Powercoast would. A lot of option teams would be considered smashmouth.

The main difference comes from the passing game though. Power coast is just a west coast offense, with power running concepts. A power coast passing game still features a majority of snag and stick. The qb is typically only taking 3 and 5 step drops. Slants and passes to backs in the flat are a staple.

Smashmouth is "3 yards and a cloud of dust". The passing game is built off of playaction, and then taking shots downfield. The goal is to get vertical, and take the top off of the defense, when the safties come up, in your typical smashmouth O. You'll have QB's taking 7 step drops, and the ball travels a much greater distance, in the air, on average.

Example:
Jim Harbaugh = Power Coast
Rex Ryan = Smashmouth (Mike Mularkey, if you want an OC/HC example)

A Power coast is just an offshoot of the West Coast.

Doing something like this out of the gun and if you can get a mobile QB it's awesome.

Re: Power coast offense

Willie Taggart has run this offense. I would imagine USF playbook is probably this. A disciple of the Harbaugh's ( played and coached under Jack, Coached with Jim) he runs what is called the " gulf coast offense" a modified version he created from what he learned from the Harbaugh's and what he learned from Art Briles.

Re: Power coast offense

I’ll tell you this when I’m running this offense it’s about power and fast passes.
