Anybody with keen football knowledge

Particularly the I-formation, I need you. I am majoring in physical education and also getting a teacher's license for English as well. On top of that, I plan on coaching high school football. I spend a lot of time thinking of what I want to run, and I have what I want my base offense to be (similar to Georgia Tech's offense), but I want a complimentary offense for change of pace purposes. I chose the I, as I intend on playing smash mouth football, then taking advantage of defenses who sell out on the run with crisp play action. My problem is, I can't figure out how to make the passing tree I have for the option work for the I.

So, does anybody have any ideas for terminology on passing plays? I am completely drawing a blank.

Also, if this is in the wrong place, sorry. Looked to be the only place I could post it.

You may need to build your offense around the talent you have. Some towns the elem and middle schools might be organized enough to feed to your system on the high school level but that's tough to do.

If you have superior runners, decent blocking, sure I might be good.

I prefer flex offenses. At times run, times pass.

Bring this offense back because many don't run it and it's a pre cursor to the spread we have now.

The Veer. When you make the State just PM and I will come watch you guys.

I'm no coach, but you can find some good boards out there for this type of thing.

3 step routes tend to be hooks and slants to the receivers to offset heavy pressure and press coverage while the TE (or slot) either goes up on a post or out (Boise St toasted VT on a play action with the TE running a post last night).

5 step routes typically have an outside receiver on one side running a post or squaring off on an in route on one side, the interior receiver (a TE or slot) going outside with the flanker going inside in some fashion (or vice versa) or having the flanker on a go route to burn them deep.

A favorite of mine on Madden (for serious!) is to run a play where the inside receiver runs a go while flanker runs a 10-15 yrd dig to take advantage of the safety going deep while the TE drags across taking advantage of the clear out.

I can tell you it will be no mean feat to install the triple option at the HS level, but it obviously can be run out of the I as well as the wishbone and the veer.

Triple option teams have very, very few pass plays due to the sheer complexity of the running plays.

    • Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it. 
    • Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker. 
    • We only fielded about 4 NFL calibre players on that unit last year.
