Answer 5

I'm with Lions Fan....I've never heard of East Coast offense.  Not sure where you guys have heard that term before.  But the West Coast offense was coined in the old 'Niners days with Bill Walsh.  It basically uses alot of short passes.  Shorter passes with higher chances for completions.  Not exactly an air it out system like some have said...that implies alot of receivers and deep passes alot too...which isn't what the West Coast offense is about.
