Coach,
sounds like an illegal formation to me. There must always be at least 7 men on the LOS in any offensive formation. If you put 8 players anywhere else with the exception of 4 in the Backfield, you are covering up elgible receivers and why would you want to do that? You say 3 down OLM, I guess you could stand the other 4 up. It makes no sense to me. The 4 unaccounted OLM would have inelgible numbers and unless they report to the white hat on every play they cannot catch a pass. I'm sorry but I can't visulize what your talking about. Maybe someone else can help you.

Tiger One..it's legal. You keep your tackles on the LOS you just give them like 15 yard splits. I don't know what it is called but I do have a video stored online of my old high school running it. If you want to download it ckjones3, let me know I'll post the link. Also, you'll see some of the Fly offense on the video.

If you think you're above failure, you'll always be beneath success. Risks make cowards of us all, until you consider the greatest of all risks: The risk of denying greatness.

We have run it in the past. We call it "Greek". IMO, it is a waste of time. We occasionally have some success running a screen behind the spread tackle, but that is about it.

I feel that it is a gimmick offense. It might be fun to run a play or two out of it, but I can't really see someone having success with it as an every-down formation.

Basically a bubble screen offense. We had a back with the QB too to run a quick speed option type play.
