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.

“These are the warnings
that you must forget
if you’re climbing out of yourself.
If you’re going to smash into the sky.”

Here one can neither stand nor lie nor sit
There is not even silence in the mountains
But dry sterile thunder without rain”
