Alright, listen up, y’all. We gonna talk about this here “pro style offense” in that football game, the one with the college kids, CFB 25, I think they call it. Now, I don’t know nothin’ ’bout fancy plays and all that, but I know what works, ya hear?
What’s This “Pro Style” Anyway?
From what I gather, this “pro style” thing is like how them real pros play, not like them college boys runnin’ around all wild. It means they got a good mix of runnin’ and throwin’, see? Not just chuckin’ the ball all over the place, and not just bangin’ heads on the ground neither. It’s ’bout balance, like a good meal – gotta have yer meat and yer potatoes, ya know?
This here offense, they say it’s good if you like runnin’ the ball. And who don’t like runnin’ the ball? Smashin’ and bashin’, that’s what football’s all about! But it ain’t just runnin’, mind you. They throw the ball too, when they gotta. Keep them other fellas guessin’, that’s the ticket.
Formations and Playbooks
Now, they talk about all these fancy formations, like “Goal Line,” “Normal Weak I,” and “Slot Flex.” Sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me, but I reckon it just means where them players line up. The playbook, that’s the list of plays they can run, has got a good mix of runnin’ and passin’ plays. Not too much of one thing or the other.
- Runnin’ the Ball: They got plays where the big fellas push and the little fella with the ball tries to squeeze through. That’s the good stuff.
- Throwin’ the Ball: Sometimes, they gotta throw it. Hopefully, the fella catchin’ it ain’t got butterfingers.
- Play Action: This here is when they pretend to run, then they throw it. Tricky, ain’t it? Keeps them other fellas on their toes.
Who’s This Good For?
They say this offense is good for folks who like that Madden game, you know, the one with the pros. If you like that kinda football, where they ain’t just runnin’ around like chickens with their heads cut off, then this here “pro style” might be for you. It’s also good if you got a good bunch of big fellas up front, the ones who do the pushin’ and shovin’. Gotta have a good line, or you ain’t goin’ nowhere.
It Ain’t Simple, But It Works
Now, this ain’t no simple, easy-peasy offense. It’s got a lot of moving parts, they say. You gotta have a quarterback who knows what he’s doin’, not just some pretty boy who can throw a spiral. And them runnin’ backs, they gotta be tough, able to take a hit and keep on truckin’. It ain’t for the faint of heart, that’s for sure.
Reminds Me of That Coach, Les Miles
Heard some folks sayin’ this offense is kinda like how that coach, Les Miles, used to do it. Power football, they call it. Run the ball, control the clock, wear them other fellas down. That’s my kinda football! Not all that fancy stuff, just good ol’ fashioned smashmouth.
It Ain’t All Passing or All Running
Some teams, they just wanna throw the ball all the time. And some, they just wanna run it. But this “pro style,” it’s got a little bit of everything. They say it’s balanced, like a good see-saw. Not too much on one side or the other. That’s what they mean by “NFL-style” offense, I reckon. Them pros, they know what they’re doin’, most of the time anyway.
Gotta Have a Good Line
You can have all the fancy plays in the world, but if you ain’t got a good offensive line, you ain’t gonna do nothin’. Them big fellas gotta be able to push and shove, make holes for the runnin’ back, and keep that quarterback safe. That’s the most important part, in my book. No good quarterback wants to get sacked all the time. They need time to throw or hand off.
So, there you have it. That’s my take on this here “pro style offense” in that CFB 25 game. It’s about balance, runnin’ the ball, and havin’ a good strong line. If you like that kinda football, then you might just like this offense. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go find somethin’ to eat. All this talk about football’s made me hungry.
