The team we play in the semifinals has a formation I haven't seen before. I was hoping maybe somebody had an idea how to adjust to it. It looks loike this:

............................................................................tb..........................................................................
.................................................................................qb....................................................................
........................................................................................................................................................
..............................................................................fb........................................................................
.......................................................wb.............................................................................................
.................wr..............................................t..........g.....c....g..........t........................................wr......
....

They have a wide split between tackle and guard and fairly tight between gaurd and center. They run sweep with qb, power and iso and option all to the strong side. They put the wing to the other side and will run zone read. Any ideas would really help. I have some ideas but as always a little discussion helps to find out if your on the right track.

You play 3 to the two receiver side and 0 to the backside...if that is all they run out of it I would probably run cover 1 and line up like this:

........................................tb...............................................................................................................

.............................................qb.........................................................................................................

........................................fb...............................................................................................................

................................wb.....................................................................................................................
...........wr.......................t.......g....c....g.......t.........................................wr..........................................
.........................D..........E............N.............E......................................................................................
................................................................................D
.................................B..........M..........B............................................C...............................................
...............C............................................................................................................................................................................................F....................................................................................................

Slant my nose and backside end strong, strong end into b-gap, send my strong Bat right at the wing back and push him into the backfield...have my mike read fb...he fills B on the inside shoulder of the end unless the end gets washed then he has to scrape over the top and fill the window...

if they bring the wing to the other side i would just flip it...

gap control and backside stays home...that's just off the top of my head...

So you would play your free over the top of the wing. What I was thinking was this.

..........................................................tb........................................................................................
...............................................................qb..................................................................................
....................................................................................................................................................
..........................................................fb.......................................................................................
.........................................wb.......................................................................................................
....wr..........................................t....g......c.....g......t..........................................wr.........................
................................................S...E........N..........E........................................................................
.....................................D..........................................D...............................................................
..........................................W.............M........................................................................................
.......C.......................................FS...................................................................C...........................

My nose is a weak shade of center. Weak End inside eye of tackle. Strong End outside eye of guard. Sam outside eye of tackle. Will head up of wing and Mike in strong A. Mike goes where fb goes. wb releases out D takes him if he releases vertical Free takes him.

This is aweful weak on a backside counter to both the wing and tailback.....

Anytime I see 2 backs in the backfield I stay in a base alignement. Most teams want you to take people from the box. To me this formation looks like a Hybrid-I formation, somewhat like a pistol look. I would play it just as I would play any I team.

In the secondary, we would play Cover 3/lock. Somestimes we try to make more of something than it really is.

Well we played them and lost 8 - 6. But we shut down their power I. They started running strong then hit us with weak option and gained 10 yards, so we moved will back over to the weak side and left the d-line the same and shut them down. They went to a spread wishbone after we fumbled inside our 20 and scored on power then power on the pat. My strong bat got sealed in both times. We rushed for 390 yards but had 4 fumbles (1 on their 1 yard line) and an interception in the endzone at the end of the game. Wasone of those games where you dominate but don't score. Defense really shut them down. I was very sceptical about the 33 but after all the help I received here and the kids getting into it I really liked it. Still have a lot to learn. Just so many things you do out of it.
