New football formation, 2 QB's
|
anybody installing this offense with their miniature teams in your next upcoming seasons? :)

Another reason...
why the state of California dominates high school and college football--innovation!ppls$
I actually used to play football and baseball against Piedmont back in the day. They had three or four autistic kids on the baseball team back then. I once started a bench-clearing brawl when I beaned one of the autistic kids in the head with an 89 mph fastball--calm down everyone--I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE!:rtfl: |
My hats off to those coaches. The willingness to try and develop this offensive scheme is very refreshing. I'm sure that this offense will keep opposing coaches some sleepless nights.
|
How can all those receivers be legal. The article talks about having just one center and a tightend lined up on either side. :confused: That would make nine eligible receivers. The "o" has seven men on the line of scrimmage but all are eligible. :confused:
|
Only 5 receivers are...
eligible for downfield passes. The others can still be used to catch balls thrown behind the line of scrimmage, or laterals--they cannot go downfield for passes, though--it is totally legal, though a headache for the refs, i'm sure.
|
That's what I gethered from it as well. On different plays, different receivers/TE's will be lineman and different ones will be lineman. I'm not sure what their playcalling verbage would be for that, but it is interesting to see. There is a web page with some info on it.
|
So a lineman can catch a pass behibd the line of scrimmage but not a forward pass? Thanks for clearing that up. I wonder if the receivers have to report to the refs that they are eligible or not?
|
Actually...
...there technically are no linemen. Everyone is wearing an eligible number and depending on the playcall, anyone could be eligible - 5 downfield and the other 5 behind the LOS!!!
Could you imagine seeing this on Sundays? Rice...Lofton...Monk.................Winslow...Web ster...Novacek.................................... ..Carter .................................................. ................................................Ow ens...Moss......... ................................................K.
