 teams that used the Run & Shoot in the early 1990s used true wide receivers in all four receiving positions. The types of running backs used varied from smaller backs who could catch passes to big, bruising running backs who could run with power. The frequent passing plays run out of this formation tend to spread out the defense's players. If repeated pass plays work, the defense is not as prepared for running plays; running the ball between the offensive tackles, or just off-tackle, is now possible and more likely to succeed.

Formation History

The original inventor of the Run & Shoot, Tiger Ellison, first started out with a formation that overloaded the left side of the offensive line for his scrambling quarterback. He called it "The Lonesome Polecat."

A year later, he came back with a more balanced formation that is similar to the diagram below.

• WR................LT.LG.C.RG.RT...............WR
• ...........SB...............QB..............SB
• ...............................FB

Other variations of the above formation are similar to the way spread offenses like to set up their systems. Originally, the run and shoot was set up so that the quarterback would be positioned behind the center in a single back position, with the single running back lined up a few yards back. Later, during his tenure with the University of Hawaii

 out of the shotgun. In this case the running back is offset to the right of the quarterback (as in the formation below).

• X........LT.LG.C.RG.RT...........Z
• ....W...........................Y
• ..................QB..SB

Another formation that can often be seen with the run and shoot is the "trips" formation, where three wide receivers are situated to the right or left side of the line of scrimmage. Most of the time, this formation will be created out of motion when the W or Y receiver moves to the opposite side of the formation.

• X........LT.LG.C.RG.RT...........Z
• .................................W...Y
• ..................QB..SB

Player and motion names

Every team has its own specific naming conventions, but they all have the same basic principles. To make diagramming plays easier, the receivers used in the Run & Shoot are often given standardized names depending on their position. One way to do this is to label the receivers, from left to right, X, W (for "Wing"), Y, and Z, with the running back being called an S-Back (for Singleback or Superback).

The initial movements of the receivers can also be labelled by using code names for "left" and "right" such as "Lil and Rob," "Liz and Rip," or "Lion and Ram." As an example, a quarterback may call an "X Liz, W Liz, Y Go, Z Rip, SB flat", which tells the X and W receivers to run to their left, the Y receiver to run a go (or fly) route, the Z receiver to run to his right, and the S-Back to run to the flat (close to the line of scrimmage and toward the sideline).

Route concepts

There are several kinds of routes a receiver can run, depending on the specific type of Run & Shoot offense that is being used:

• The Choice Route is probably the most recognizable element of the Run & Shoot. This route gives the receiver the option of which direction to run depending on the play of the opposing defensive back. If the DB is playing inside of the receiver, then the receiver can run an out route that's essentially an L shape to the right. If the DB is playing outside of the receiver, then the receiver can run an inside route that's essentially an L shape to the left. This is one technique that defenses use to try and dictate how receivers run their routes. A smart receiver will see where there's an open area and run there using a designed route.
• The Switch Route allows for the receivers to "switch" as they run their routes. This often entails the X (or Z) receiver running to the inside while the W (or Y) runs to the outside so that the two receivers cross paths with the intention of confusing the defenders as to who they should cover.
• The Slide Route often employs motion from the W receiver or the Y receiver to form a trips formation, where one side of the offense has 3 wide receivers on one side of the field.
• The Go Route gives the receiver the option of running a go route (also known as a fly route).
• The Hook Route gives the receiver the option of running a hook route (also known as a button hook or curl route).
• The Streak Route gives the receiver the option of running a streak route. (also known as a go/fly route)

Another important concept to the Run and Shoot is the ability to improvise depending on defensive coverage. One aspect is generally what is called MOFO or MOFC. Those two acronyms stand for: Middle of Field Open or Middle of Field Closed. This relies on the play of the Free Safety and where he is lined up in the defense and often is mentioned in relation to the W or Y receiver.

One example is to have the W receiver be told: If it's MOFO, run an inside post route. Upon lining up at the line of scrimmage, the QB can see that the FS is moved to the left to help double team the X receiver. As a result, the W receiver will have a MOFO situation. Upon the snap, the W receiver would then run an inside post route to where the open area is, that was normally covered by the FS.

A second example is to have the Y receiver be told: If it's MOFC, run a hook route. So the QB sees that the FS is in his general spot and the middle of the field will be "closed" (or covered by the FS). Upon the snap, the Y receiver will run up and then hook or curl back towards the QB in the open area beneath the FS. The Y receiver may also curl to the left or right opposite of the FS depending on how his DB is playing him as well.

Key concepts

The following concepts are key to understanding the Run & Shoot:

• Throw to the open receiver. This is fairly obvious but if the receiver is open, the quarterback must recognize the coverage and find him in time to get him the ball.
• If the QB reads 5 or less in the box, run the football. This means that traditional defensive formations using a 3-4 or 4-3 front will have moved 2 defenders outside of the "box" for coverage help. The "box" is the area about a yard outside of the tight end or offensive tackle on one side of the line to the other offensive tackle/tight end on the other side of the line and about 5 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.
• Use motion and formations to spread the defense out and anticipate what the defense is going to do. If one uses motion and the defensive back follows the motioning receiver, they are probably playing man coverage

Advantages of the Run & Shoot

As the Run & Shoot offense incorporates four receivers running routes on every play, it forces defenses to substitute extra defensive backs who excel in coverage in place of linebackers and defensive linemen who excel in tackling and stopping the run. This often results in formations with 5 and 6 defensive backs, also known as nickel

 defenses. The defense is forced to make their team smaller (cornerbacks are often shorter and slimmer than linebackers) and move them away from the ball. This spreads the defense out, creating wider running lanes inside. This not only creates a physical size advantage for the offensive line if they get past the defensive line when run blocking, it also allows teams to play smaller runners with better agility who may not have seen the field otherwise because now they can physically match up against a defensive back.

This kind of offense can create many mismatches in the passing game, with slower defensive players trying to cover faster, more agile receivers. The inside receivers are often known for being very agile (Wes Welker

A defensive team starting their 5th best DB is usually at a disadvantage when he's going up against the offense's 3rd best WR. If a team has 4 really talented receivers like the Houston Oilers and Atlanta Falcons did in the early 1990s, they can easily abuse the weakest cornerback on defense since most teams rarely have more than 3 really good cornerbacks on a roster at one time.

Perhaps the greatest advantage of the Run & Shoot over other competitive offensive schemes is the advantage it offers in personnel. The 4' 10" Mouse Davis

 has publicly stated that much of his admiration for the offense comes out of the fact that it turns the game from a game of size and strength (DL and LB on defense) into an intellectual game of speed and intelligence (Finding seams and holes against 5 and 6 DBs).

Disadvantages of the Run & Shoot

There are several potential disadvantages to using a Run & Shoot offense:

• Since the formation does not use any tight end

  s, the quarterback is at increased risk for being hit or sacked since there are fewer players available to block a defense's blitz.
• Teams often use a strong running game to keep possession of the football, especially at times when it would be advantageous for them to run out the clock. A criticism of the Run & Shoot offense is that teams would often continue to rely upon the pass rather than establish the run to finish off a game. One example of this is the 1992 AFC Wild Card game

  , rather than winding the clock down with the running game and preserving the lead for the victory, called 22 pass plays against only four runs in the second half and eventually lost the game by a score of 41-38. Alternatives like the Spread offense have been preferred over the Run & Shoot in part because they place more emphasis on the running game.
• Many commentators noted that the Run & Shoot is less effective in the "Red Zone," when the offense is less than 20 yards from the goal line. In this area the offense has less room to move around and cannot spread the defense out as in other areas of the field.

Roster Positions for the Run and Shoot

• Quarterbacks often have to be either mobile or have a very quick release if they are not mobile. Having a lot of arm strength is not a requirement but they need to have enough to make various throws. Jim Kelly was 6'3" and around 215 pounds. Andre Ware was 6'2" and around 200 pounds. David Klingler was 6'3" and around 210 pounds. Colt Brennan was 6'2" and around 205 pounds. Warren Moon was 6'3" and around 215 pounds.
• SuperBacks need to be built much like fullbacks as they often have to deal with no lead blocker and are often the only defense to blitzers for the QB's protection. Chuck Weatherspoon was 5'7" and around 230 pounds. Craig Heyward was 5'11" and around 240 pounds. Dorsey Levens was 6'1" and around 230 pounds. Kimble Anders was 5'11" and around 230 pounds. Lamar Smith was 5'11" and around 230 pounds. Gary Brown was 5'11" and around 230 pounds.
• Wide Receivers can vary although Mouse Davis was prone to opting for shorter receivers who were more explosive due to their smaller size. Andre Rison was 6'1" and around 190 pounds. Sterling Sharpe was 6'0" and around 210 pounds. Drew Hill was 5'9" and around 170 pounds. Ernest Givins was 5'9" and around 180 pounds. Haywood Jeffires was 6'2" and around 200 pounds. Eric Metcalf was 5'10" and around 190 pounds. Michael Haynes was 6'0" and around 190 pounds. Jason Phillips was 5'7" and around 170 pounds. Davone Bess was 5'10" and around 190 pounds.
• Offensive Linemen need to be stout in pass protection and fast/agile enough to drop back constantly. Jamie Dukes

Lomas Brown was 6'4" and around 280 pounds. Bruce Matthews was 6'5" and around 300 pounds. Mike Munchak was 6'3" and around 280 pounds. Don Maggs was 6'5" and around 290 pounds.
