New A-11 offense

When I was in high school way back in the late 1990's Park View Sterling ran the Single Wing. They were very successful, they beat us 56-6 and we were a playoff team that year. It was an offense that did not resemble anything else you saw from any other team (albeit a throwback to the 1920's) and it was basically impossible to get a good simulation in practice when you only had a few days to prepare and a bunch of JV second teamers trying to give you a look. Bottom line, with the kind of athletes that play in the NFL and the time they have to prepare gimmicky offenses like this one wouldn't work. Hell, this team went 7-4 running it in high school (Park View never won a state title when I was in high school either).

I agree I don't think it would work either. They went 7-4 but maybe it hasn't been perfected yet? They did say that there's a lot of different things they can do wit that offense...

Yeah, and I'm sure it was hell for the quarterback(s) to get used to. I believe you could win in high school with this offense, but it'd be a stretch in college and wouldn't work in the pros
