Offensive Philosophy (American Football) - Smash Mouth

Smash Mouth

A smash mouth offense is the more traditional style of offense. It often results in a higher time of possession by running the ball heavily. So-called "smash-mouth football" is often run out of the I-formation or wishbone, with tight ends and receivers used as blockers. Though the offense is run-oriented, pass opportunities can develop as defenses play close to the line. Play-action can be very effective for a run-oriented team.

Famous quotes containing the words smash and/or mouth:

    These are the warnings
    that you must forget
    if you’re climbing out of yourself.
    If you’re going to smash into the sky.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Dead mountain mouth of carious teeth that cannot spit
    Here one can neither stand nor lie nor sit
    There is not even silence in the mountains
    But dry sterile thunder without rain
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
