What sort of offense are we running?

[Mr. Scot]

When Joe Brady was the OC, we were running a Sean Payton influenced WCO. From what I knew of Ben McAdoo and where he cut his teeth, I was expecting something at least somewhat West Coast like from him as well.

But so far this season, I'm not seeing the hallmarks of a typical WCO, especially not when it comes to the use of runningbacks in the passing game. Also true that this yyea we don't really have an offensive line built for that kind of attack.

Head coach Matt Rhule's mantra of "run the ball / stop the run" might make you think Coryell or E-P, but it's also kind of hard to say it looks like either of those.

So I'm curious, for those who've been watching and analyzing the designs and playcalls McAdoo is putting out there, what do you see?

 

Note: To be clear, I'm looking at system fits. "A bad one" or "an awful one" might technically be correct, but that's not where I'm going

 A lot of three wide 1TE 1RB....  With power concepts as the run game and no concept for a passing game.

An inept one.

Granted, and one of the things you typically see in a Coryell for example is a fair amount of variance in formation, motion, etc.

So again, I'm not sure what McAdoo is McAdoing

No motion, almost no player rotation.... Heck We seldom even flip the plays.

Oh and we have used one formation on close to 90% of snaps..

Wonder if Macadoodoo doesn't have one, leaned towards Sam's play style and when Baker showed up, too inept or stubborn to change.

The WRs can't get separation, I think they are figuring out our plays...

I seriously doubt that's true. I've seen Baker miss wide open receivers.

Rhule wasn’t asked a single question yesterday about McAdoo. When talking about the offense he didn’t even mention McAdoo either

We are so doomed.

Yeah but we also don't do a very good job of scheming guys open with any regularity.

McAdoo’s offense was figured out years ago 

The people talking about Baker’s feet or our WR’s aren’t paying attention

Those "wide open" plays tend to be towards the end were he's running for his life.... I've seen 1 or two he's just outright missed but 90% of the time our guys are locked down or running into each other.
