Deffine "west coast offence"?

Question

simple question, simple answer, best answers goes to the person who diferenciates the west coast offence from other traditional offence play books

Answer 1

The West Coast Offense is designed to "stretch out" the defense by running short passing routes so that long rushing plays and deep pass routes are less defended. This is in contrast to traditionally running the ball to draw the defense in to open up the long pass. In short, the West Coast offense is somewhat contradictory in that it depends on the defense defending plays that generally have high rate of success more heavily so that the plays with a more risk have more chance of succeeding. It seems common sense now because everyone does it, but when it was first implemented it was pretty revolutionary.

Answer 2

West Coast offense was coined by Bernie Kosar when he played for the Cowboys. "We're running that west coast offense they have here..."

The West Coast offense was developed by Bill Walsh. He installed it at Stanford and then with the 49ers. It uses short patterns and short crossing patterns, and used the RB as a receiver. The offense is mostly based on timing...When the offense succeeds in the short patterns and the defense adjust and play short man to man or zones, then the offense allows the receiver to run deep to create one on one match ups, and confusing the safety on the coverage.

West Coast offense is also ball control, give your defense time to rest, and control the clock so your opponent couldn't control the clock.

Don Corroyall offense which is used by the Rams "Greatest Show on Turf," allows the speedy receiver to stretch the field, and the RB or TE are used in slot situations or receive from the back field (Faulk) creating mis-matches. It's more of a quick strike offense.

Patriots offense is a simple offense, find the best match up and exploit it. Consist of short passes to the outside, and sitting in the zone, but requires the QB to read the defense more carefully then the West Coast.

Answer 3

While there are many versions of the west coast offense, the original and traditional version is signified by a short passing game using crossing and drag routes to isolate WRs on LBs and S with the QB using short 3 or 5 step drops.

Answer 4

Placing a greater emphasis on passing rather than the run game.

Which is why the teams you see saying they run the west coast will always have a lot more passing yards and not really have a huge running back

Answer 5

West Coast is short timing routes in which the QB uses three and four step drops.

Answer 6

It's: Define "West Coast Offense", you imbicile!
Also, sentences begin with capital letters and end with a period.

Answer 7

2 hit the nail on the head. The only thing I could add is that the architects of the offense were Bill Walsh and Paul Brown. The irony being that they were coaching in Cinncinatti when they developed it.

Answer 8

a series of short passes.....the qb only drops back a few steps...

coupled with infrequent long passes and run plays.

The short passes are designed to stretch the defense and open up the run game and the deep pass.

simple question

difficult answer

Answer 9

throw short passes that helps set up the running game.

that contradicts regular thinking in the way that normal thinking says the running game sets up the pass
