DAMN RULEMONKEYS THREATEN TO KILL OUR BELOVED A-11
Legality gets in the way of so many good things: the debate rages on as to whether the A-11 offense is even legal or not, but we would like to state for the record that we do not care, because like file-sharing and the discharging of fireworks in public places, we endorse them because we like them, not because they’re “good” or “in the community interest.”
Gawk at the wacky below on the modified Emory and Henry in motion. Just for the single-wing enthusiasts out there: no, this will not make you gay just looking at it, even if it is from California.
Read more about it here. And on the gay thing? We were kidding: watching video of the A-11 will make you completely homosexual, single-wingers. We regret the error, and recommend Blake’s on 10th in Atlanta for all your needs.

It’s dem damn communiss. I tell you what, son, it takes a pirate like Bill Maher’s cousin Mike Leach to do something that crazy and not be a gay commie. I don’t like ever’one else’s chances.*
*That’s using the pirates kill and steal logic, not the guyliner sodomite stuff.

That offense definitely did NOT make me want to touch other men………………………..now the music was man-tastic and totally felt like the sweet caress of Tom Selleck chest and belly hair.
Lesson Learned: Watch the tubez with care young men.

This is why abominations, like the 3-5-3 defense exist.

Now I’m no schematical football genius, but wouldn’t such an offense be next to impossible to properly officiate, considering that the line judge may only have all of one second to determine who is and is not eligible, without the help of the numbering system?

What is hamburger?
Chopped ham?
No. It’s chopped steak.
And what goes better on steak than A-11.

wouldn’t this almost make american football more like european football in that defenses would have to be created to shut down all 11 players?

If this offense was made commonplace, methinks you’d sell a few more of your “Possession Receiver” t-shirts Swindle

Reminds me of every game played in my front yard until I was about, oh, nine years old. Lots of fun. Would be even more fun if the NCAA would allow us pave the end zones and park a station wagon near the pylons.

I still love the manliness of Wilkinson’s Split T. Everything comes back around eventually. Some coach will read Bud’s book, rename the offense and everyone will think that he is a genius.

I love it! Can’t blitz it because the ball is gone too quick. Inelgible recievers go out on routes to 3 yards downfield to look elgible without getting the penalty.
I think single wing coaches would approve. That entire playbook is about creating unusually favorable blocking angles.
You need two down linemen. Five underneath coverage, four deep. Play almost exclusively zone and see if their QB has the arm to make the throws he has to. Maybe rotating coverage to bring pressure towards the action would help . . .

Now that was fun to watch, it’s like they spread the spread.

#12, I think you see elements of it in WVU’s offense. The most incredible thing about the spread it how different incarnations exhibit different parts of football evolution. It’s like X Men hit a whiteboard. This baby spread mutant has scales, this one heals incredibly fast. Usually I think of
WVU – Veer/Split T/Wishbone theory spread; get good blocking lanes (Watching RichRod would cause me to geek out and/or cry two time nightly, amazingly creative)
Wake West coast offense, short passing game
Florida – Single wing
Texas Tech – Run and Shoot
Nevada – singleback/I theory
The spread is here to stay. Homer Smith wrote that to stop an offense, a defense needs 17 men: 8 in the box and 9 in the passing zones. Spreading the field is the first offense to truly force the defense to defend every threat on every play. I’ll go ahead and blaspheme, if the Bear was alive, Steed Lobotzke would be his OC and he’d be running the spread.

#15: Dude, Stephen. You just cited Homer Smith /and/ correctly identified Florida’s offense as being single-wing-based. And you ALSO mentioned the X-Men.
So… the /first/ two points above lead me to ask you: d’you coach? Because the /third/ point compels me, with great sadness, to inform you that if the answer’s yes, you may give me a serious run for my money as the geekiest football coach alive. Sniff. I thought for sure my title was secure.

I did coach for four years of undergrad and one after college on a volunteer basis at high schools and did film breakdown at a college. After I got married I couldn’t do it for free anymore. I worked for a while and am now in law school. The bug still hits hard occassionally.
I ran a singlewing with a little league team I had. No center QB exchange and no middleman between smart QB and fast fast RB’s I had. Worked like a charm.
