HOw much offense is enough

coach,

IMO, if your a PASSING TEAM, you can't ever have too many!!! If your going to run a pretty much average high school passing game then a few each out of the 3 and 5 step game, a few play action,
a limited sprintout package. Maybe somewhere between 8-10 all total. Run them out of a mutiple formation platform and you should be fine.

That's brings me to my next problem. I love the option but I also love to pass. I dont want to over emphasize one aspect and under emphasize the other.

Coaches,

Been doing a lot of research on this offense... We'll begin to implement it this Spring... Tell me if I'm on the right track.

Looks like the most popular base runs are similar (DE/Read) runs... Zone Read, Tackle Wrap, Tackle Trap...
Then you can counter with the same blocking scheme, but run FB opposite (to pick up unblocked DE) and use QB as the runner....

All the other runs seem to be "icing on the cake".... Speed, Quick Trap, Power, Reverse...

Research Question:
What is your "base" DE Read Run? Wrap, Trap, Zone? and why?
Do you add a pitch man and run triple with your base play?

What am I missing?
Thanks!
