The offense of Sid Gillman, Don Coryell, Joe Gibbs,. ETC. STILL Prevelant in the NFL:
OFFENSIVE OUTLINE: EAST COAST OFFENSE:
1. Why a Oneback Offense (Balance, etc.); 4 MUSTS OF THE ONEBACK OFFENSE
2. Personnel Requirements
3. Personnel Groupings (2 TE/2 WR/1 RB; 1 TE/3 WR/1 RB)
4. Formations (2x2; 3x1)
5. O-Line off the ball (helmets on Center's belt)
6. O-Line Splits = 18"
7. WR Splits = NINO
8. Cadence = factor
9. Shifts?
10. Motion (& Defensive Reactions)
11. Technique Check-List
12. 6 Basic Runs
13. 3 Play Actions
14. 3/3 Step DBP (& Tags)
15. 5/5 Step DBP (& Tags)
16. Look Pass/Bubble Screen
17. Draw
18. Screen(s)
19. Philosophy vs. Blitz
20. Game Planning (Red/White; Coverages; etc.

I. JOE GIBBS OFFENSIVE THEORY:
The One-Back concept fits our personnel very well. If we played two backs simultaneously, one would have to do the blocking for the other. When Riggins carried, Joe Washington, who weighs only 180 pounds, would have to block for him. We would rather have one of those backs sitting on the bench resting and have a 250 pound tight end blocking for us.
Second, our offense is better suited to the widespread use of the 3-4 defense. We had nine 3-4 teams to play. These teams have dominating outside linebackers who have taken over the game. When we play the Giants, they have Brad VanPelt and Lawrence Taylor on the outside. If you try to block Taylor with a back, you're going to lose. It's impossible, so it's better to have two tight ends. Then Lawrence Taylor has to rush around a 250 pound blocker if he wants to get into our backfield. That's a whole different story. With four good receivers, we can also threaten downfield with four men off the line of scrimmage.
NOTE: The Redskins were 80-90% two tight ends, two wide receivers, and one running back (Riggins). On long yardage, they were one tight end, three wide receivers, and one running back. However, the Redskins mixed this up and use the three wide receiver lineup on first downs when the defense would probably not have a fifth defensive back in the game. Their aim is to match one wide receiver against a strong safety or a linebacker.
The main philosophy is to execute a few plays to perfection out of many looks. The pre-snap movement causes confusion on defense and creates match-up problems.

II. DON BREAUX (REDSKINS "OC" IN GIBBS YEARS) — 2 TE/2 WR/1 BACK
We wanted a formation that would challenge the defense along a broad front and present problems to their pass defense. The only way that the pass defense could be challenged by mere alignment would be to put four eligible receivers up on the line of scrimmage. With the possibility of getting four receivers out into a pattern quickly, the secondary would have to align itself in a sound pass defense. Thus, we came to the conclusion that we would have only one back in the backfield. We decided on a two tight end and two wide receiver alignment with the other people because it presented an eight-gap front to defend vs. the run. We call this formation our "SPREAD" formation:
X--------------------O-O-C-O-O-Y
------------------H-------Q------------------------Z
--------------------------R
This formation is certainly not unique. It has been used by many other teams. However, in the past a one-back formation was mostly thought of as a passing set, and it was used primarily in those situations. We wanted to use that threat of the pass to create a better opportunity to run, and on the other hand we wanted to have a good chance to pass by virtue of the formation in a run situation. The two tight end front gave us a chance to spread the defense out. If the defense was to honor our passing threat by using four of it's defenders in the secondary, then there only remained seven defenders to play against an eight-gap front. One defender would have to play a two-gap responsibility. The only way they can defend the extra gap is to close the middle of the field — the formation affects the force of the defense (the Will Lber will be over a Tight End which makes the Lber force
