jRight Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Shanahan coaching tree comes from the Bill Walsh school. Then when he was in Denver with Elway it was the West Coast Offense, with some bootleg elements. So is it now West Coast with some Pistol elements to it. Or is it WC with Spread sprinkled in? Pistol Coast Offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachboy757 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 He calls it the East Coast Offense, but the East Coast Pistol Whip sounds more fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphil006 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 If you want to get technical, Bill Walsh had more of a Stanford offense that got labelled WCO... Air Coryell was more West Coast... and Joe GIbbs put his own variation on it, which some called the East Coast offense... It's like a spread, but with more pistol formations and less WRs spread out... plus Shanny can incorporate his running game... it's rare you see such innovation... the last big innovation on offense that I remember was the Rams offense that Mike Martz was using, which was a variation of Norv Turner-Ernie Zampese. I may be slightly (or more) wrong or over-arching in some of the above, but it's an interesting topic nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 East Coast Pistol Whip sounds pretty good. Either that or East Coast Offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prototype Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Actually, it uses a lot of the fundamentals of the West Coast offense. If you notice, there are a lot stretch runs, but instead of doing it in the traditional under-center formation, RG3 takes the snap out of the pistol, and still hands it off in a classic zone-stretch fashion. By doing it in the pistol formation, however, gives them flexibility to add their own wrinkles, such as the triple-read option and so on. It's essentially the West Coast offense used in a pistol formation, and all I know is that it's working.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyHolt Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 After hearing Cooley on 106.7, its become clear to me that this Kyle's playcalling. I had been theorizing that Mike has a big hand in what plays get called, but never knew for sure exactly of course. While he is bound by his fathers preference for mobile linemen and the zone blocking scheme, Kyle has a big fingerprint in what we see.
