[edit] Urban Meyer -- Not Run & Shoot?
Urban Meyer's system seems to put equal emphasis on run and pass. Tebow this year has 25+ passing TDs and 25+ rushing. Furthermore, it has as much in common with old single-wing philosophies (mis-direction, direct snap to primary runner who just happens to be a QB) as it does with Mouse Davis run & shoot. In short, I think it's a poor example. Clames (talk) 18:12, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Meyer has consistently throughout his career favored a 60/40 run/pass balance. Whoever made that comment has not followed Meyer's coaching style, so it will be deleted. Bantab 06:33, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wrong philosophy regarding run and shoot
The article is lacking a/the primary concept behind the run and shoot. The central philosophy behind the run and shoot offense is not "pass to set up the run". It is for the quarterback to read how many defenders are inside the "box" i.e. how many defensive lineman and linebackers there are inside the area between (and inluding) the ends, and the area immediately behind the defensive line. If the quarterback sees 6 or less defenders in the box, a running play would be advantageous because of how the offensive line/backs match up with the defense. If the defense loads the box up with 7 or more defenders, a pass play will most likely result since the coverage would be relatively light or poreous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.218.97.136 (talk) 00:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
