The real West Coast offense.

I'm still finding articles about what a genius Sid Gillman was. Here's one from Dr. Z of Sports Illustrated:

It was a beautiful offense that had everything going for it. At times it reached unheard-of levels, such as the 610 yards the Chargers put up when they murdered Boston in the 1963 AFL Championship. Push the ball downfield, work the seams, hit the receiver on the break. Everything timed to the max, every step carefully charted, receivers and QB all working together. And a punishing ground game to back it up.

More on Gillman from the NFL website:

"You see these two deep defenders, with the corner guys up on the line?" asks the chummy old man armed with a remote control. "You've gotta attack the two-deep. As soon as we see this defense, someone's going up the middle, or on a post -- or both."

Yeah, fuck that Cover 2 shit, man. This next guy calls it the Coryell Offense, which is wrong, but he talks about how it differs from the stupid dink-and-dunk "west coast" offense popularized by Montana and the 49ers:

Simply put, the Coryell offense is the antithesis of the West Coast offense ("WCO"). In recent years, the explosive offenses of the Rams and the Chiefs have brought the Coryell offense back into the spotlight of the NFL.

GO SEAHAWKS! That's what you say when you live in Bellevue, juat a long pass from Seattle. I heard the fireworks from Qwest Field when the Hawks won the NFC.
