buck Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 How about the 4 spread WR shotgun with 1 HB (with the TE flanked)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 That really depends on what level of football you are dealing with. Here is a quick list from the top of my head.Historical: Double Wing, Short Punt, Triple Wing, Oklahoma T, A, Yale, Notre Dame BoxSpecialty: Satellite, Stack, Williamsburg Wing, Inverted I, Wild Bunch, Swinging Gate, Power Wing, Emory & IvoryHigh School: Modern Double Wing, Single Wing, Slot-T, SnifferCollege: Flexbone, Split FlexboneCollege/Pro: Inverted Bone, Bunch, Twins and Trips from the various formations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstout Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yeah, that is the inverted Bone. The tight formations like that can have 0 to 2 WRs but generally what you drew is correct.The Flexbone is:; W;; A ; T; G; B QC; G; T; E; CThe Split Flexbone is:; W;; A ; T; G; B QC; G; T; C;; W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buck Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 so, cxrom, what the hell is all this for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxrom Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 i didn't wanna say anything until i had something to show...but for awhile i've been writing tech demos for a project i call openBowl.the first demo, called FormTest, placed the offese and defense on the field. (pics here. scroll down the page a bit)after that came FieldTest which implemented the "camera." this scrolling system allows for unique endzones/midfield logos for teams, unlike TSB.now im working getting the scripting engine to do more then SET_POS_FROM_SCREEN and SET_POS_FROM_BALL, as well as interfacing FormTest to FieldTest. i just wanted to make sure the FormTest worked for all formations i planned to include before i move on.

jstout Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Without being ultra specific those looked fairly good.The 46 diagram is vague. I've seen two models with the most common being the inside LB/Ss over the Ts but there is another that looks more like what you drew in text.The 43 basic has two forms [often called college and pro though run in both]. College has the OLBs over the T and the Ends over the TEs. Pro has the Ends shaded over the Ts with the OLBs shaded over the TEs. The difference is slight by the design is highly different.; 2nd Level [Note the Deep Safety is 20 to 25 yards back];; C;; E L; T ; T L D; T; E L;; CThis is a defense created by 2 coaches who wrote a book on it. Baltimore has been running this here and there (some variations) with Ed Reed playing back. The benefit of this is the DS is so far back the he can travel a greater distance for coverage and his momentum forward creates a stronger collision.The rest is slight like Lineman shaded, SS in a Monster, Bubble LBs, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
