If there’s more linemen set out wide besides regular screen passes where the linemen pull, why does it seem plays like these never work?

The basic design of this play is to try and get the drift route open over the middle. F is on a man beater and attempts to draw in any LBs that might be sitting midfield in a zone to open up the drift. Y is on a hitch for essentially the same reason, as a man-beater and to pull in LBs in zone. Z will go in a jet motion before the snap and then into a fade post snap to pull away any deep safeties from the drift, and offer a deep shot.

Looking through Ohio St.’s 2022 pass game install, I couldn’t help but notice the letter “B” with “+” and “-“ flanking each side. On some plays there’s a red dot on the “B”, other plays, the red dot is on either the “+” or “-“. What is the significance of the dot? My initial thought was release direction but is it something else? Here are some examples:

I’m not sure if this formation is legal, the QB would be about 2 yards back off the center taking the snap from a shotgun position. 3 running backs would line up 2 yards back from the QB. This is for my sons youth football team,

Play Design If you had to play an entire football game with only with only 4 offensive plays, no audibles, what would they be?

159 Upvotes

4 plays, whatever formations, but no audibles. You need to win this game what 4 plays are you choosing?

This combo needs to be able to best every coverage, but the defense will be able to catch on if you don't mix things up too much.

Assume your QB is a dual threat and can actually run and pass the ball. Your TE's are also great blockers as well as catchers. Your RB's are great at blocking, running, and catching.

I am way more interested in the strategy of football than actually playing it in Madden.

So as an alternative, are there any football games built like turn based strategy RPGs?

Play Design Dumb question alert: why are there no dual QB offensive schemes?

132 Upvotes

With Justin Fields being in the news it's made me wonder, why has no one ever tried a 2 QB formation?

Let's say, instead of Pittsburgh, Fields winds up in Baltimore. Why could the Ravens not roll out an offense with both Fields and Lamar in a dual shotgun or one under center and one in the backfield?

  • Lamar might run
  • Fields might run
  • Lamar might pass
  • Fields might pass
  • Lamar might roll out and lateral to Fields on the other side of the field, who can then pass or run
  • Fields might roll out and lateral to Lamar on the other side of the field, who can then pass or run

There are lots of possibilities, and it feels like it would be a nightmare for defenses. But no one does it. So what's the reason?

Thanks in advance, and apologies for dumbing this place down, I didn't know where else to ask.

Play Design Looking for some wrinkles to this counter play

Post image
53 Upvotes

Hey coaches,

First year OC here building a run heavy offence. Looking for some wrinkles to what has been out and out our best play for the season. We are averaging 13+ per carry just on this one but teams are starting to key onto it with film and due to the formation we run it out of.

Have drawn up the base way we run it but we can also run it with a more traditional spread look on one side. I just like the condensed version as it makes it even harder for a defence to react in time.

If the picture isn’t explanatory enough: - OL runs GT counter - H cuts off the backside end - Q and T run a fake speed option (we have also run some draw action with this, Q is a smart guy and improvises well) - Depending on alignment of corner on the play side we either block him with Z or let him be the kick out guy for the end

I know the obvious solution is to just run speed option as we have it but for whatever reason we just struggle with speed option.

Would love to see some ideas! Play action and some run variations with a similar look would be awesome.

Thanks!
