You don't have receivers immediately available, you don't have blockers immediately out there. So from that sense, it can make it more difficult. On the counter side, obviously you have more space to work in. Both have their advantages for attacking inside and outside.<br /><br />To your second question, yes and no (and I think you recently commented on something similar). It can be easier to attack in the middle with a spread formation because the defense is providing you more space, and likely getting smaller bodies on the field. On the flip side, you have fewer options on how to attack, so again, you've limited yourself in some ways by leaving guys outside. So a give and take.Space Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11525412240793969593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544267494643079726.post-54265767135399946142017-11-10T10:57:48.848-05:002017-11-10T10:57:48.848-05:00Looking back on this article it seems to me that o...Looking back on this article it seems to me that outside concepts(run and pass) in general are better from compressed formations(more space to attack with less defenders outside). Is this true?<br /><br />If so, would that mean inside concepts(run and pass) are better in general from spread formations?FLChttp://footballleavesclues.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544267494643079726.post-35457699748031590212017-09-07T08:01:01.327-04:002017-09-07T08:01:01.327-04:00I agree with your final assessment.

That said, the spread as certain numbers advantages to the outside that allow for things like bubble screens to more easily threaten the width of the field, where as heavier personnel has more flexibility with blocking schemes and such. So lateral spacing is a bit better out of the spread, but it comes with some trade offs.Space Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11525412240793969593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544267494643079726.post-34805133960358351822017-09-03T19:33:58.298-04:002017-09-03T19:33:58.298-04:00Do you believe that the spacing in the spread offe...Do you believe that the spacing in the spread offense is better or just different?<br /><br />From this article it makes me think that spacing is just as good but just shifted to a different part of the field. Would this be an accurate assessment?

I've been wondering how "prostyle" offenses create explosive runs without spreading the formation with wrs. <br /><br /> I just found your site I hope you continue to write.Nickhttp://nick.comnoreply@blogger.com
