CBSMF 3 BACK QUESTIONS

[mantaraydre]

CBSMF REPRESENTATIVES.


I printed out the rules friday and will be formulating a playbook this week.
Before i do just a few questions.

1)can the 3 backs be placed anywhere behind the line WITHIN ALL OF THEIR LIMITS prior to any audibles. Then placed in their play positions during the audible ? ie, have them spread, then placed in the i formation.

2)Are we honoring the wing T (wildcat formations) ?

3)If running the option to either side WITH 3 BACKS IN THE BACKFIELD. I understand the qb cannot block for the runners. Cant block for the runners period with three (3) in the backfield. So, on a option WHERE THE QB does not keep it, do you

1) Take him off the field physically since he cannot block.

2) Do you turn him around to run in a direction away from the play, since he cannot block ?

3)Does it matter.

4) We can, run any passing package with three(3) backs coming out of the backfield, screens, swing passes, designed checkdowns

We all know this will be an asset due to covering backs out of the backfield is alot harder than the receiver on the line. NO ONE IS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THEM. I see alot of underneath zone if 3 backs are ditected in a lineup.

***If running the ball, is stacking the 3 backs in an "I" formation allowed with the qb running the other way. For instance, spreading the backs somewhat wide to make the defense think your going to pass. Then audible into a 3 backs stack behind a tackle or guard.

I just skimmed over the rules briefly but will read them in depth this week.

Just want to hear it CLEARLY on what can be done in this system,

Like denzel washington said, " Explain it to me like im 6 years old "

1 first as long your players are behind the line of scrimmage, in the box ( between the tackles) and not 20 yards from the LOS you can move them.

2. for the QB being a lead block that is on runs between the tackle, running the option is different. this is with a full house back field.

3. And for the wildcat, yes it will be honor as long as a player is desitinated as a QB.

GREG,

Thanx for the information.

NOW IN REGARDS TO THE WILDCAT !!!!!!!!

Just so coaches understand who want to run this. You ever notice in some wildcat formations NO-ONE IS BEHIND THE CENTER. They can be either slighty left of the center or slighty right of the center. In this case centers are taught to PASS/HIKE the ball slighty left or right. The running backs will move left or right to catch the ball then make there move. SHOULD WE INDICATE WE ARE IN A WILDCAT FORMATION PRIOR TO,THE SNAP.

Reason being, i can hear coaches now, SOMEONE HAS TO BE UNDER CENTER.
In the wildcat NO THEY DON'T !!

With that said, we can line up in a normal run/pass situation. THEN AUDIBLE INTO THE WILDCAT. With someone close enough (angled) towards the center to simulate catching the ball then running or passing. As long as we let the defense know who is catching the ball from the center i hope is sufficiant enough to be legal.

I GUESS WHOEVER IS GETING THE BALL SHOULD BE A HALF BASE LENGTH FROM THE CENTER. OR A BASE LENGTH. OR DIRECTLY UNDER .

We know directly under is sufficiant, the quesh is what do you want to honor in terms of not being directly under center.

1) 1/2 base length (behind the guard)

2)base length (behind the tackle)

I will get into the UNEVEN LINES LATER, FOR EXAMP

END>CENTER> GUARD>GUARD>TACKLE>TACKLE> END

OR

END>TACKLE>CENTER>GUARD>GUARD>TACKLE> END

***Those not too familiar with uneven lines

It just means more players on one side of the center on the line of scrim


Thanx
