Oneback question: running game for 11 personnel

Powers & Counters are also GREAT vs. "Nickle" with only 6 in the box (we get blockers where we NEED them thru use of MOTION)! If you need to discuss this in more detail that I have below - please feel free to PHONE me at 804-378-0116 (up to 10 PM/EDT).

Here is a guide we use in game planning. We use only TWO personnel groupings:

1. 2 TE/2 WR/1 RB
2. 1 TE/3 WR/1 RB

COUNTING DEFENDERS IN THE “BOX” FROM THE ONE BACK OFFENSE

THERE IS A MISCONCEPTION THAT WE ACTUALLY COUNT THE DEFENDERS IN THE “BOX”. FOLLOWING IS THE METHOD WHICH WE USE – WHICH HAS PROVEN TO HOLD UP:

A) 2 TE/2 WR/1 RB ALIGNMENT:
1. ONE SAFETY DEEP = 8 IN THE “BOX”.
2. TWO SAFETIES DEEP = 7 IN THE “BOX”.

B) 1 TE/3 WR/1 RB ALIGNMENT:
1. ONE SAFETY DEEP = 7 IN THE “BOX”.
2. TWO SAFETIES DEEP = 6 IN THE “BOX”.
