Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 2175969"] [ATTACH=full]95660[/ATTACH] Recognize anyone in this shot? Amba Etta-Tawo* is going to play for two SU grads, one a HC longer than the other. They, (Nathaniel Hackett, OC and Doug Marrone, HC), are going to run a version of the Air Coryell offense. In [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_football'][U]American football[/U][/URL], [B]Air Coryell[/B] is the offensive scheme and philosophy developed by former [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_San_Diego_Chargers'][U]San Diego Chargers[/U][/URL] coach [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Coryell'][U]Don Coryell[/U][/URL]. The offensive philosophy has been also called the "Coryell offense" or the "vertical offense". With [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Fouts'][U]Dan Fouts[/U][/URL] as quarterback, the San Diego Chargers' offense was among the greatest passing offenses in [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League'][U]National Football League[/U][/URL] history. The Chargers led the league in passing yards an NFL record six consecutive years from 1978 to 1983[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Coryell#cite_note-1'][U][1][/U][/URL] and again in 1985. They also led the league in total yards in offense 1978–83 and 1985. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Fouts'][U]Dan Fouts[/U][/URL], [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Joiner'][U]Charlie Joiner[/U][/URL], and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kellen_Winslow'][U]Kellen Winslow[/U][/URL] would all be inducted into the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Football_Hall_of_Fame'][U]Pro Football Hall of Fame[/U][/URL] from those Charger teams. The NFL scouts definitely missed. So, this is a good thing – a great passing offense awaits. It may take him a few years to become a starter or he may start year one but this is good news. Of course Leonard Fournette isn’t there to catch passes so it may be an offense with a lean toward the ground game depending on how effective Fournette is. Overall I think Amba shouold be pleasaed – what do you think? *If he makes the active roster! [/QUOTE]
