While this might work in Silver and get you to the playoffs, it isn't going to cut it in Gold and against really good Silver teams.

The problems I see with this setup are...

1. This makes your team 1-dimensional, ie all rushing, and that makes it easier call the right defense.
2. There are a couple formations that you only call one play out of, so very easy to stack against that one play in that specific formation.
3. 80% of those runs are inside, and with the only outside run out of the PS form to the strong side, a defense can stack against those.
4. No situational plays, like 3rd & Short or 2nd & Long. Makes scouting very easy.

As a DC, I would drool if I was going to play a team and saw that only called those specific plays and ZERO others.

I would suggest you use those as your core plays, but make sure to call other plays, including some passes, to keep the defenses you play honest. Also, don't forgot to include strong side off-tackles as they can be as effective as the Slams.

Uhm...he wasn't really being serious.

I figured as much, but I have seen people use an offense like this and someone could easily think it would work, so just wanted to point out a few problems.

Plus I am at work, half way through a 12 hour shift, so I am basically brain dead at the moment.

That's pretty much what I used with the fighting gamecocks last season actually. I did change it every couple of games though for a few different plays. Works better then everyone expects.


and ping, sadly I was pretty much serious.

:FACEPLANT!:

...hmm... I guess they don't have that smiley.

This looks like package #4 in my AI pacakages. It is called decent run plays and I call it 50% of the time on third and short. Of course mine has a few more plays and uses a variety of different HB and FB depth chart spots and also you are forgetting the three key Goalline formation plays.
