You're splitting hairs.
I tend to rely on coaches. Joe Judge is expected to run the Earhardt-Perkins with the Giants. From one of their sites......
Concepts
Efficient language
One of the biggest drawbacks in the West Coast and Air Coryell offenses are their elongated play calls. The call in the huddle could be "Jet Dart 368 Y-Flat Train on one." That's a standard Coryell play and the language is too descriptive and wordy for a fast-paced offense. Each part of the playcall refers to different players and it contains a lot of irrelevant information for many players on the field.
The Erhardt-Perkins offense is different to other offenses because it describes concepts rather than individual routes. Take the "368 Y-Flat" part of the Coryell playcall listed above for example. The Erhardt-Perkins play call for that would be two words and could read something like "Circus/Kings." "Circus" would refer to the route combinations on the left side of the field, and "Kings" would tell receivers on the right what to do. I wrote about basic route combinations before, and that should give you some idea of how this works. This offense uses a huge variety of combinations between two and three receivers to get the most of the space that they're working in. Additionally, it's important to note that their play call names don't refer to the common combination names and merely act as a signifier within the team. It's code. It's all code.
