Clock control. This sentence makes me wanna play some footballl.

Now when you read the newspapers, you will see people say that today's coaches modify the offense such as the Broncos. Nothing could be any further from the truth. The Broncos use the same plays that the West Coast offense uses or is designed to use, it's just that they tend to run the ball more because of the talent that this team has.

On this part you said... they tend to run the ball more because of the talent that this team has. I think the Broncos would run no matter what, its the evolution of the West Coast Offense... using West Coast style throws but establishing the run first. Forcing teams to repect the play action or draw, then opening/spreading out the field with short high percentage throws.

Much like every growing thing... football styles grow and evolve too. I think traces of the West Coast Offense can be seen through out every team in the league now... with different approaches to it in mind. Some try to establish the run while others (RAMS) stick to the true premise of opening up the long ball with the short ball.

I didn't write this piece bro, i gave another persons pov of the WCO.

If you are running a zone blocking scheme then I guess it's somewhat a WCO.
