    In theory, you get the benefit of a downhill rushing attack. Now, if you're just slinging it all over the place, and don't even bother audibling to a run (which Leach would let his QBs do), then it's pretty much pointless. But if you want a balanced attack while still preserving most of the Air Raid concepts, the Pistol can work.

    In the game, one thing that is frustrating about the Pistol Air Raid plays is that they include Y Shallow and Z Shallow, but not X and H. Yes, since it's a balanced formation it can simply be flipped, but it was still jarring to me to only see two Shallow Cross plays.

    EDIT: Plus what Mors said. I didn't see that until after I replied

    I wish I could blame it on .

    Guess I just replied twice to the same thread instead of different threads, as I obviously intended.

    Can someone share with me how Noel Mazzone got the Air Raid label attached to him? I'm genuinely curious.

    Who has said that? Going by where he's coached and with what coaches he's coached, I don't see how that's possible. If anything, you'd think he was a pro style or, at the most, a spread guy.

    How much of what the New Orleans Saints do on offense is from the Air Raid? I gotta say, sitting down and really watching what the Saints did on offense (especially with someone not that talented in Chase Daniels), I was having flashes of what Mumme used to do with his running backs. Am I imagining things or does the Saints offense have some building blocks from the Air Raid in their arsenal?

    Four Verts is a staple of the Saints offense. So the answer to your question depends on whether you link Four Verts with the Air Raid, or acknowledge that practically everyone runs Four Verts today.

    The basic answer is, in my opinion, the Saints are a mash-up of many different spread/one-back/Air Raid variations, as many teams are now.

    The core of the NO Saints offense is centered around the following concepts:

    Verticals
    Corner
    Dig/Shalllow/Levels/Drive
    Spacing
    Screens
    Play-Action

    Which, unless I'm nuts, is basically "Air Raid", "Everything", "Air Raid", "Air Raid", "Everything" and "Everything".

    Just something for anyone running the Air Raid to consider... in the article posted on page one of this thread, if you read all of it, you will find out that Leach/Mumme never "flipped" plays. Their reasoning - WR's would then have to learn two routes instead of just one. So... if you want to run the Air Raid and stay true to it - try running it w/ out flipping any plays. Gets a little more difficult than you might think...

    Not only that, but they rarely used motion didn't they? It was pretty much line up and go with what they had.
