Horns Everything Including Delay Game Plus Double Extras

I've argued that horns allows teams to run anything. It's great to setup mismatches against "switch everything" teams. 


It plays against the 2-3 zone with a variety of options, especially against an aggressive front (above, right).

Would it work as a delay offense? Delay offenses run clock but also present scoring chances. 



This creates post-entry, opposite backscreen, but also has obvious backcuts, preferably on the side the ball was entered. It has continuity and opportunities for back cuts with the baseline players as well. If defenses overplay the top, slips are there and if help comes off the corners, there's the 'short roll' pass equivalent.

Of course, at any time you can change it up and run a high ball screen to either side.
