    In reply to @CoachDingus
  • CoachVGonzalez Jan 21 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A1: We try to make the defense wrong. When we scout, we try to find the player who has dual responsibilities, and force him to pick which one he wants to do, then hit them in the other spot. We also prioritize taking their best player out of the game. #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachDingus
  • CoachShemby Jan 21 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A1- Ground and Pound. Take pride in moving DL off the ball and finishing! #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachDingus
  • CoachMillerOL Jan 21 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A1. My offensive philosophy is to take what a defense is giving you. If you crowd the box we will make you respect our recievers. If you cover everyone we will pound you with zone and gap scheme from multiple formations. #hogfbchat

  • FISTFootball Jan 21 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A1: aggressive, hard nosed, downhill. We like balance, but if we can run it down your throats we will. I keep my OL hungry to vertically displace the DL and impose their will. #hogfbchat
  • LCGrizzlyFB Jan 21 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A) Air Raid passing game with power running game!!! #hogfbchat
  • BivinsCraig Jan 21 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A1) wing t. All I need is 3.5 yards. #hogfbchat
  • CoachShiffman - Moderator Jan 21 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A1: be as efficient as possible. Run the ball to set up the pass and establish dominance early and often. Adapt as necessary #hogfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Jan 21 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A1)It is what you do when you aren't playing defense. #hogfbchat
  • TrevorH12674232 Jan 21 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A1: Our offensive philosophy is to get our best players the ball out in space and watch them perform! Every year we tweak our system to match the guys we have coming up. I think it’s important to be able to adapt your scheme to your players. #hogfbchat
  • coachnaron Jan 21 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A1: Multiple Spread #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachDingus
  • fritts57 Jan 21 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A1: we want to be a tough, physical football team. Fundamentally sound. Be able to run the ball and stop the run. Up front we want to Play Low, Play Fast, Play Physical. Relentless effort. #hogfbchat
  • CoachJonesUHS Jan 21 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A1.) RPO. Every play call is pass first with the run option included no matter the call, Down & Distance. A lot of reading pre snap and post snap as well. TLDR? Score. #Hogfbchat

    In reply to @CoachDingus, @CoachShiffman
  • CoachOz79 Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1: Offensive philosophy is find as many differnet ways to run our base stuff, keep the defense off balance, and go up tempo to cause as much stress on the other side of the ball as possible #hogfbchat
  • Trench_CoachJJ Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1: Dur to my age I would be considered a “throwback” I want to use that ancient player called a “fullback”, 21 and 12 personnel, and I want to run the ball 25+ times. Completely own the LOS. Couple that with simple passing concepts. QB making his throws count #hogfbchat
  • CoachBrassard Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1: go as fast as possible while using vertical routes to stretch the field while simultaneously forcing the defense to defend all phases of the zone read and stop Power in multiple personnel groupings. #hogfbchat
  • Coach_Goudeau Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1) Multiple Formation Spread. Look for alignment weaknesses and get ball to playmakers #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachDingus
  • kenleybyrd Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1: I believe in being aggressive, consistent, and disciplined. I believe in running to set up the pass while passing to set up the run.... #hogfbchat
  • Martidou14092 Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1 you play offense to score. Find ways to generate explosive plays. Use formations/shifts/motions to find or create mismatches that can be attacked. #hogfbchat
  • FlyCoach_68 Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1... little mix of air raid, zone concepts, man schemes #hogfbchat
  • Coach_Barber3 Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1) Single wing Spread #hogfbchat
  • MyGAOnline Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1: Multiple formations and ball control! #Hogfbchat
  • CoachVerstegen Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    Wing-T system but our mantra for the o-line is all about "Angles & Attitude". Point the rock, impose our will... and throw when we have to haha (at least in my mind) #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachDingus
  • Coach_Worsell Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1: since I just started at Akron I’m going with my La Verne offenses. One play too score - play as hard as possible every play, as if you have one play too score #hogfbchat
  • adammwilson Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1: Pistol spread. It depends on what players you have from there. #hogfbchat
  • somachad Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1) Run Run Run #hogfbchat
  • CoachJLBailey Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1. Spread-WingT mishmash this year. If I were head hancho, we would do WHATEVER FITS THE KIDS #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachDingus
  • FB_CoachFitz Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1: I would describe my personal offensive philosophy as an option background with spread window dressing. I believe in taking what the defense gives you and using tagged screens to make a defense defend the entire field. #hogfbchat
  • CoachColeJr Jan 21 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1: Offensive philosophy? Spread and shred baby! Fast paced, no huddle, spread them out to run but grip and rip when it's there. Attack vertically but still be able to bash it when we need to. #hogfbchat
  • OLcoachrob Jan 21 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A1: whatever allows my guys a chance to win. In an ideal world it would be a power run game with air raid passing attack. #hogfbchat
  • coachbrownrigg Jan 21 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A1) Spread - Run to Pass (Built to fit personnel) #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachDingus
  • BHSCoachW Jan 21 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A1: Multiple Spread, about 60/40 Run to pass, lot of our passes are quick game & screens that are extensions of the run game. Do incorporate a little under center as well in our short yardage package. Fit the system to our kids so this can all be adjusted. #hogfbchat
  • CoachBennett32 Jan 21 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A1: I would define my offensive philosophy as a “mixed bag of philosophies” because I’ve taken things I’ve learned from every stop. Do what your kids can do 2 be the most successful. There are millions of way to skin a cat, but you’ve got to hang your 🎩on something #hogfbchat

  • Coach_VanHorn Jan 21 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A1: Air Raid #hogfbchat

  • Coach_Timmerman Jan 21 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A1) Most importantly find a a small number of things you know you can be good at and rep them over & over again. Get athletes the ball in space. Build in answers for the QB w/ pre- & post-snap RPOs. Find ways to generate explosive plays & don’t turn the ball over. #hogfbchat
  • CoachVGonzalez Jan 21 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A1: This often takes the form of RPOs, if the player has a run resp. and a pass resp. Or if a player has two gaps, force him to take one gap then cut it back to the other. If a DL has two gaps, push him into one gap then hit the other. #hogfbchat

    A2) I’m sure I’m not the only one but we get absolutely nothing done if we can’t run the football. And with what we do in the pass game we ask a lot of our guys. Up front, we run the show, so we must carry ourselves accordingly. Be cerebral, but bring the funk too! #hogfbchat

    • FISTFootball Jan 21 @ 9:28 PM EST
      A2: I’m lucky that my OL bought into the culture immediately. They LIVE to impose their will on the DL. They don’t question play calls because they know we are putting them in the position to win. So they know we are going to put it on their shoulders and run the ball. #hogfbchat

  • CoachZachClark Jan 21 @ 9:38 PM EST

    A3 a 3-3 stack. Makes it harder to read things. Defense can disguise stunts and blitzes. Double teams can be tougher too. Gotta spend a lot of time repping it to make sure we’re confident and when in doubt, default to base blocking rules #HogFbChat

  • chrisvIQtory Jan 21 @ 9:50 PM EST
    A4) Love it! Gronk catching a lot of heat for his low reception output but he’s great in the run game. Michel & Burkehead are great downhill backs to fit the power/zone game as well. #hogfbchat
  • mt_stjohn Jan 21 @ 9:50 PM EST
    A4. Their OL and RB are better than their WR. It ain't hard #hogfbchat

    A4: I would love to see how much time was used by linebacker coaches teaching how to defeat an iso block from a fullback 20 years ago vs right now. They’ve had to work on other things. Patriots are taking advantage of it. More teams will. #BringbacktheFullback #hogfbchat

    A4. Sometimes it's not the scheme, nor the hottest clinic convo. Coaching is coaching. Put your ego away and do what works. The NFL has overloaded on DBs, small Lbs. The Patriots are smart enough to take advantage of it #hogfbchat
  • Coach_MarkBrown Jan 21 @ 9:51 PM EST
    A4: Their best guys fit that personnel. Not my favorite personally but good for them it works well with what they do. #hogfbchat
  • coachphope Jan 21 @ 9:51 PM EST
    A4: It showed confidence in the OL and FB to take a game over. It was a true example of throwing to score, and running to win. Takes pressure off of an elite QB and OC. #hogfbchat
  • Zach_Turner1 Jan 21 @ 9:51 PM EST
    A4: Cant answer this question in 140. I think they see teams using smaller and smaller backers plus defensive coordinators aren’t scheming consistently for 21 Personel schemes. They play their best game 11 and with the best FB in the league it makes sense. #HOGFBCHAT
  • coachcurd Jan 21 @ 9:51 PM EST
    A4 think they r getting ahead of curve by going back to the future. 11 is the new 21. w more defenses basing out of nickel 21 is a good answer to make the Nickle play in a phone booth or if the d puts extra LB in allows gronk to have good matchup on LB #hogfbchat
  • rockpoltrock Jan 21 @ 9:51 PM EST
    A2. Our offense is built around the OL. Everyone that plays for us or watches us play knows it. We don’t have a “feature back”, we have a “feature line”. #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachShiffman
  • CoachFlegelOC Jan 21 @ 9:51 PM EST
    A4: All in on the FB. I need to do more research on the offensive end, but pro style with someone leading through the hole gives teams fits since most teams are spread. #hogfbchat
  • CoachVGonzalez Jan 21 @ 9:51 PM EST
    A4: It's funny because we all lauded the Patriots when they went spread in 2007 with Moss/Stallworth/Welker. Then again when they went 12 with Gronk/Hernandez. Now they're great for using a traditional fullback. What a tenure Belichick has had. #hogfbchat

    A1) make them defend all 11 as much as possible. All about the read game on as many runs as possible whether it’s a pull/keep or RPO. Use their rules against them. Put your kids in the best chance to win, instead of trying to force a square peg in a round hole. #hogfbchat

    A2). Try and make you lines job easier by finding ways to read their best front 7 guy instead of trying to find ways to block him. When you do have to block him use the best angles or false keys to make it easier. Goes with giving your guys the best chance to win. #hogfbchat

    Serious question, and this isn’t a dig at you, but why do many coaches extol the virtues of a FB but bemoan spread schemes that run a sniffer? It’s the same thing in all honesty. #HogFBChat
    • the1st_RJN Jan 21 @ 9:56 PM EST
      100 percent still violent! Just having fun as all! But! There is something sweet and satisfactory about seeing a fullback play more than 6 snaps
      In reply to @CoachOrtizOL
  • JDFreeman54 Jan 21 @ 10:06 PM EST
    A4). Love it. Take what the defense is giving or you where you feel like you have better matchups. If that’s lining up and smashing them in the mouth then all for it. Don’t think they’d be doing things they don’t feel like they have the advantage in. #hogfbchat

    A3) odd front with NG and 4i’s. Gotta decide if you want to leave tackle or C on an island when pass blocking. Run game wise depending on your scheme if you don’t have some tackle fold or trap/wham stuff can be hard to dig them out if you wanna run inside. #hogfbchat
