I live about 2 miles from the Missouri border and it is NOT the South. I would consider most of Arkansas part of the South, but there are some parts that have a very Midwestern feel.

Parts of FL are just as southern as anyway. If you mean Orlando, Tampa and Miami then you are correct.

Some of the most southern people I know, come from the Florida panhandle.

UGA's offense is about as pro style as it gets

I agree in a traditional sense, but I think the OP was trying to say the pros are changing to a more passing/spread type of offense and who in the SEC is similar.

I know. But we have also changed with the times

Jax and Tally I think are pretty southern as is Gainesville but from there on it loses it.
Road, you live in Jax?

Yea I guess, more like we have changed to fit the talent of the QB.

Agreed

Haven't changed near enough. I think we should use less FB sets since we lost chapas and utilize more single back sets and use TE and add a god damn pistol formation. Basically run the bama offense. I formation works great when you have an OL and good FB but lately all it does is bunch the defense up and the play actions just take time away from Murray.
More single back sets, Multiple TE sets, and add a damn pistol set

I do think we should have Murray in the shotgun more, but I am in disagreement with you on the Fullback. We just pulled Figgins from a TE to FB. He can catch so why not use him?
Posted on 6/16/11 at 11:45 pm to dawgfan1979
I'd use him, but as a second TE or have him like AU uses lutz. I know he can catch but he's massive and looked a little weak blocking at GDay. I know it's early but idk if a dude that big who looked like he wasn't a natural FB will be all that effective. I'd rather have him closer to the line or and extra WR as a threat or to spread the defense out.
Problem is our offense is predicated on the run and by physically owning tje LOS. Well, our OL hasn't done that in a while so the box is always full and we get petty 2 yd runs and our PA passes give Murray no time because there is no run game and the OL is weak so he always looked rushed.
Like you said lets add more gun but why stop there? Nothing too crazy but why not spread defenses out? We aren't the physical team of the past but we are very fast so instead of putting the square peg in the round hole and play tour strengths? And I think the pistol would be PERFECT for Murray

For all the talk about our power running game, Saban has pretty much phased out the fullback. Even in 2008 when we were maybe more pro-style (under center more, two tight ends, two receivers) we didn't use a full back much (our blocking tight end Travis McCall, and Cody would sometimes line up there). And then starting in 2009 we added more spread principles. Shotgun, 3 receivers, one back, sometimes the pistol, and ran out of that. Not traditional pro-style formations.

I love the Alabama offense. Maybe not McElwains calls or even the players but my point is like what they actually run. I love it. I also love OUs offense. I love the diversity of formations and the use of more WR/TE than say a FB.
I'd love to see UGA start spreading it out, more 4 WR sets and such

IMHO pro-style offense today with regard to the NFL is a variety of things, pretty much everything except air raid or spread-option. Guys just have different philosophies in the league.
The saits, colts, pats are pass first, usually 3 or 4 receivers and take shots and don't let up. then they have the run first conservative teams like titans, jags, jets, mike shanahan types. West Coast teams like the chargers, 9ers, eagles, and vikes under childress. Then the "east Coast" offense like steelers and ravens, one-back with multiple TE, more of a power run game than zone and sets up play action. I think the league is more diversified than in the past and a pro-style offense can mean a multitude of styles, formations, philosophies.
