The last one I watched was the Houston game. He was using all the formations with some RPO blended in as well
Are you thinking of Dana? Leach has not used Pistol outside a few snaps in 2012 because they had a former Nevada guy on staff and he hasn’t gone under center since a few snaps with Falk in 14/15.

Speed is the most important stat

So basically if you're in a 2x2 and it looks like man audible out?
Look for a play in Spread Flex called WR Post Corner. This is how I've been running Mesh for the past 5-6 years. That stem post that the Z runs destroys man. Hot route the slots to drags to get your mesh concept, the back to a wheel, and you can have X run a streak or deep out.
If you're looking to get the aspect of the concepts where the crossers settle in zone, this is how I do it: hot route the H to a flat and the back to an option route. You're just switching the assignments of the back and the H. Your back and the Y will perform the mesh and I've found that backs are generally much better at sitting down on those option routes.
You can also combine Mesh and Flood out of 3x1:
Let me know if you have other questions.

I appreciate it I'll try this out tonight. Never thought about using the back with option routes for mesh
Another thing I remembered with that set is motioning the Z in. It’ll create a more compressed alignment that you can run a lot of stuff from, including Mesh. Pick something where the Y runs a corner (I like Smash Corners because you get that HB angle route that you can do a lot with), HR the Z and H to drags, back to a wheel, and the X to a streak/deep out.

not surprisingly, im having way more success when i run a true air raid vs trying to mix in other things (option reads, rpo, etc). the problem im having is that none of the default playbooks seem to be very good for the air raid, except for the air raid base on itself - which sucks because you have to use team default in the online h2h ranked mode
im waiting (possibly forever) for the sim engine to get fixed before i try dynasty, but may start just playing in play now to lab some of the different looks. im crushing with shallow cross, mesh, y-cross, curl - basically anything short with normal reads. im getting DESTROYED when i try to go over the top - i think im making the correct read but my QB cannot throw it over the trailing defender. so many interceptions. ive thrown a bunch of pick sixs on comeback routes too - not sure if its me or the timing but im learning to throw 2 steps sooner in the route than i think
if i was better, there are some really cool things you can do in that air raid-adjacent area, but dont think thats for me short term. anyways, interested in what you guys are doing thats working. are we able to share custom PBs? i havent done one yet but would like to see what yall are working with

I'm really struggling putting this offense together, have y'all just made custom playbooks or what default playbook do you use? How do you all handle user linebackers and safeties? I'm struggling to get chunk yardage.
Basically i've been running air raid playbook (which i hate has so much 11p) and mesh shallow cross corner and stick. I haven't delved into screens yet.

Are you having problem with pass protection?
You have to check the mike and slide your protection accordingly or you don't get time to throw. The game marks the Mike for your, but sometimes vs certain defensive alignments it chooses a OLB/DE or DB, which makes the line blocking go haywire. The Mike is always how the middle of your protection functions, so if it's to the left slide your protection left and obviously to the right if it's to the right. Sometimes when facing s zone blitz it'll get you still. I like to try to drift my QB away from the slide protection, to buy a extra half second.

I haven't done that at all. Has been feeling like I have no time to throw. I guess the thing to do is to half slide away from the first read? setting the mike takes so long, is there a quicker way to do that?
