DC4LIFE Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Looking for teams that run the spread offense with the zone read that didn’t just have athletes and were successful. Who are these teams I would like know. ???

playdefense Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 First, you would probably need to define what you call success. Do you mean made deep playoff runs, averaged so many points per game or what. I saw Barbers Hill play and not sure I would call the zone read successful, but it had its moments and that is the case with every team that runs it without so called athletes.

fatdaddy Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 Friendswood is a great example. They consistently make the playoffs and have had some deep runs, while having only a couple of really good players. The rest of the team has been average athlete wise. Coach Van Meter was one of the first Houston area High school coaches to really develop the spread. He was trying to figure out a way to compete with La Marque and Texas City without the plethora of athletes those schools seemed to pump out every year.

[/quote]You have to have skill players to run the spread. You can get away with average or below average linemen because of the blocking schemes. But you'd better have a decent QB and some receivers.
knightrider Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 i'd have to say the 2007 version of the broncos defined the word spread with gregory charles at quarterback and a host of talented receivers to throw to. that team averaged almost 500 yards of offense a game and almost 50 point average. that's what i call a potent spread offense. the 2008 team had a moderate version but was not as potent. but still lethel. we'll be back to it soon. can't wait. ;D ;D ;D ::) ps. cody and a.j. was potent enough. "GO BRONCOS"
rmac Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 Did any of you notice that in the 5A finals 3 of the 4 teams base offense was the I formation. I am not sure what relavance that is, but found it interesting.
BrenhamFan Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 When I think of the the spread in high school, the first thing that comes to my mind is the 05' Brenham team.

They were much better than their record. I know its either a "w" or "L" but they were a few points away from having a much better record. Thay lost some tight ones. As far as why they would get rid of their coach, I won't touch. Don't know much about the situation. A lot of folks said because we won district two years ago we had no reason to replace Burnett. Well enough said.
BMTSoulja1 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Posted December 29, 2009 I'm looking for SFA85 to back me up on this but....I hate spread Offense! Real football is played from under center in the I formation or pro sets. ;D ;D

BMTSoulja1 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 You right. The spread is football... Flag Football... :D :D
BearBryant Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 The spread is simply another offense. Its been around forever, nothing new. Fans and the ultra-football-guru daddies like it because its flashy and its the "in thing". They don't understand the Wing-t or the slot-t even though those offense are much more complicated than the spread.

All I need is Georgia Tech to beat Iowa and there maybe a sutle shift back to I-option or the pure Wishbone. The spread only creates QB who throw for a ton of yards but take 5 years to adapt to the NFL. It also makes for some soft offensive linemen....

Don't remember too many negative rushing plays this year!
zeroturn Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 any offense is about execution and talent.............

I remember a article on Central when they went from the shotgun to the wishbone and the 1 thing the coaches found hard was to make the kids stay low when firing off from a 3 point stance.
