Determining Strength 4 0 4 0 • In recognizing the strength of the formation (strong vs. weak side), officials must pay attention to the offensive team. • Strength has nothing to do with the number of offensive lineman on each side of the center or the wide side of the field • To determine the strength of the formation, take note which side of the formation has more eligible receivers outside the tackle. • If players are stacked, the player nearest the LOS is considered to be the widest. 3 0 0 3 2 0 0 2
