why is it called a pro set offense?

List the pro teams whose offense mainly consists of 1 WR receiver sets with two TE's and a fullback and with the oline lined up bunched in tight and runs mostly off tackle and inside pitch run plays and throw 18 passes a game? We run the 4th and 1 formation/plays as our base offense. It should be called the 4th and 1 base offense system.

We could just call it the scoreboard offense. You know like we are winning. Why run up the score. Let's just go. Run. Win. Repeat.

Good call, you should start a petition.

Why is the a full back not the furthest back in the back field? Why does a tackle not tackle people? You suck...

you suck because you keep saying the offense we run is a 'pro set' offense when no pro team run what we run

Link? Never have I posted about our Pro set offense. Go ahead and search my 1100 plus posts.
Stop getting caught up in the lingo of the game if you don't understand it.

it's called a pro-style offense...not pro set

We did run the pro set at times last night from the shotgun, but the offense you described is a simple I with one wide. This is the formation everyone is bitching about.

Cam runs what would have been considered a pro-style offense about 5-10 years ago. Today, many NFL teams have gone to more single back and shotgun formations. FB is often manned by hybrid TE in heavy sets for a lot of teams.
The WR route trees and the complexity is considered pro-style. Even when the Tigers go vanilla and conservative, there is a lot more going on than there was in Crowton's incoherent craziness or Stud's color by numbers playbook.

1. its called a pro style offense
2. Look at the saints. they will come out with Drew Under center most plays, and they will come out with a fullback and a RB and maybe 2 wide, and they are about as wide open an offense as there is in the NFL. They used to have the TE block, but Jimmy can't block so they don't anymore.
3. How often we vary our formation during cupcake games is different than the style of that system.
4. How many pro teams line up with 4 wide in the shotgun every play?

Because pro is the personnel grouping that consists of 21 personnel. Or 2 backs, 1 tight end.
pro style is a term used for a multiple formation and personnel set offense. A team that is 10 personnel spread isn't multi pro just as a flexbone or wing t offense isn't considered pro style because they don't formation or personnel set a bunch of different ways

Relax bro. You are making drama where there really is none to dramatize about.
The formation is called the 2TE I-Form and along with the single TE I-Form they are Les Miles' favorite method of will imposition.

This is indeed the classic pro set. It got its name in the late 50's, when most teams adopted it. The New York Giants were the last team to mostly use the old tight T-formation.
The second WR is the "flanker back." He is a back, so must lineup a step off the LOS.
Throughout the sixties and mid-seventies, the "fullback" ran the ball as much or sometimes more than the halfback or "tailback." Teams either lined the backs up as illustrated, or used an I formation.
Notable fullback-halfback pairings where the fullback carried as much as the half included Don Perkins and Dan Reeves of the Cowboys, Dick Bass and Willie Ellison of the Rams, and of course, Jim Taylor and Paul Hornung of the Packers.
Teams stayed in the pro-set most of the time because during the 60s and 70s, the active roster for an NFL team was 40 players, not 53 like today. Formation evolution was limited because you could not carry 7 WR's on the roster to come out with these 5 wideout sets, etc. The same thing was true for defense, but that's another story.
