Formation Thoughts • Be able to put any player any where. • Players can handle more info than we think. • Verbiage. • Disguise your best plays/players by using shifts and motions. Jenks Trojans
Our System • Easy to Learn. • High in Verbiage. • Y is our TE / 4th WR • H is our FB / 3rd WR (Shifty) • X is Split End (Usually Best WR) • Z is our Flanker (Possession) • T is our Tailback Jenks Trojans

Special Formation Adjustments Jenks Trojans
Exit • Tells the X he lines up call side. • X is the only person effected by the call. • Makes Invert teams pull the string or get outnumbered. • Teams can sometimes over shift too much. Jenks Trojans
Heavy • Puts both tackles away from the TE side. • Only talks to the Tackles. • Perfect for teams that have inverts. • Can give alignment problems for teams that get in the habit of calling the strength to the TE. Jenks Trojans
Attacking Specific Defenses Jenks Trojans
Questions to Ask • 3 x 1 vs. 2 x 2 which is a better running formation, which is a better passing formation. • Man in the secondary? • How do they handle overloads? • Secondary or Underneath. Jenks Trojans

4-4 Teams • How do they handle trips? • Bubble • Frontside Run • 2 x 2 Are the inverts blockable? • Yes - Read Run game. • No – How do they cover the flats? • Will they pull the string or adjust with the secondary? Jenks Trojans
