The 2018 spring guide describes it as pro style. Is it's?

I don't see many route combinations that I see on Sunday's. Same goes for pass blocking schemes.

We run a lot of one back (NFL teams do that). When we have two backs, it is not side by side or in the I, it usually is Aston in motion emulating a pulling guard.

You have spread, west coast, I formation, wishbone, pro style with multiple sets, etc.

Or offense has been hand the ball off to the TB, jet sweep or roll out with three layers of receivers (all short) all on the same side of the field in close proximity.

An offense needs to be much more than that. You need to give your QB much more than that to work with.

I think all that really means is that it’s run out of pro style formations as opposed to spread, I formation, etc.

Whatever they want to call it, It’s a pile of junk, that’s for sure.

Would have to agree with that. It is nowhere near as varied as most pro offenses.
 
It's a dumbed down conglomeration of everything. They run some I formation, they run 3WRs and one back, they run the shotgun RPO... Frankly, there is no identity other than they can't throw the ball downfield.

Dumb down describes it best.
