Best offense to run with a weak line?

The veer is always a good choice. Anything to get you outside the box where the lineman can run and just get in the way of someone
Swinging Gate or also referred to as the "Pole Cat" offense.

Wing-T!!!
Misdirection, QB waggles, boots, and other rolling RPOs...
It’s designed for quick/fit lineman (in high school in CA, our Wing-T gaurds also played OLB and SS on defense...)

Geez...O-linemen as OLB and SS???? I couldn't imagine Billy Bob lining up against the #3 receiver! Your defense must have sucked!
Starting Quarterback, Calling plays, first one to stand up to coach, not afraid of a little whipped-cream. I would call him the real hero.Can't be a hero on crutches!

For me, the whipped cream incident proves who the real star of the doc is...

The real answer is, there is no offense that will be successful with a weak O-line. Get in the weight room. Squat. Do pushups. You still have 5 months to get strong. Then keep lifting hard in-season.
Yeah cause 5 months of lifting is gonna change your whole offensive line... weights are key but if you know your line is gonna be weak you have to adjust and adapt to give them a chance to be successful. ie. the need to find an offense that caters to a weak line
I would say it depends on the skills of your QB, RBs and receivers along with what you believe in and enjoy coaching. I know this, if I am fighting a guy who is bigger and stronger than me I sure dont want to take him on in a phone booth.
Hurry up offense, run the spread O with zone blocking...start a fast, in-shape O line..no fatties.

Zone blocking is hard blocking scheme to run if you don't have big, strong and athletic lineman. There isn't much difference with zone blocking and base blocking, especially on inside zone plays, there ends up being a lot of one on one blocks. You can still double team on zone blocking but it's not quite a true double team. Most high school kids have a hard time learning how to zone block as well, for some reason they can't wrap their heads around it. There's a reason you don't see a lot of high school teams use a zone blocking scheme, and if they do I can just about guarantee they have bigger, stronger and more athletic lineman.
Offensive lines that are smaller or maybe weaker, angle blocking and true double teaming usually works best. That's why I like the wing-t for smaller, weaker and undersized lines. It's basically all an angle/down blocking scheme with a lot of misdirection and deception in the backfield. Veer blocking scheme can be good to because you obviously don't have to block certain guys. Basically the old saying a lot of option coaches have is,"If you can't block them, then option them and make them slow down and think."
Just my 2 cents.
The misdirection and also the fact that the play action/QB rollouts of the Wing T can actually help keep the QB out of danger (instead asking a weaker line to pocket protect)
^^^this^^*
You're not gonna line up and push people around with an undersized line. You'll need to get them out in space and run zone blocking/doubleteam schemes. Make the D defend the whole field.
Wing T? HHHAAAAAAAAAAA Can't win in the wing t.

I love the wing t more than my wife. I can count on the wing-t (Not serious, just trying to express my love with the wing t just in case my wife saw this)
I have to comment when we are making fun of the Mox for his whip cream bikini aversion. What kind of doc guy would i be if i didnt jump in on that?
The best offense is the one you know how to teach effectively. If you're trying to rework your entire system in April then you're in for an even longer season than you would have been in for if you had just stuck to what you do with a weak offensive line.
For once, I gotta agree with this GIF. If someone took my doughnut, thats the last doughnut they would take!
REAL funny Mox! Hows the whipped cream tasting down there in Texas!?
