thank yoi, Don !


I was right to ask, since two important points were misunderstood on this side of the pond :


Quote:
5 - offense running backs and QB pivots/angles
Correct. After offense AND defense have determined their initial setups the offense can pivot or motion a pre-determined number of players, usually the QB, running backs, receivers AND tight end. Most leagues only allow up to 2-3 motions or pivots per play.
THAT change a lot of things !


Points 3 and 4
were not understood too. Now it seems a lot more balanced and with a better "rythm" of play too.

I don't know what you mean by "straight lined figs" but the entire offense sets up first.

See the linemen on a classic setup : their bases are placed perpendicular to the line of scrimmage. It 's what I mean by "straigth lined figs".

Since what you explained in "point 5", I guess the teams should already angle most of their squads on point 1 and 2 (except the linemen) ?
