Ok heres the deal...
I'm from Brazil and we have a league of 8-man football with 3 players in the O-line...
My offense has the best O-line of the entire league, one Reggie Bush style running back, good receivers and my tight end is the best in brazil(He is a starter for the Brazilian all-star team and is playing against Uruguay in july). I have serious problems at the QB spot, having problems to make them to throw the ball under 5 secs...
I just assumed the offensive coordinator spot... I threw the old playbook in the garbage and I'm making a new one...
Some tips about the defense we will be facing... Theres about 20 teams in the league, 95% of them play with(2 DE, 3LB, 2CB and FS) and the CB's are always at man coverage with the FS doing a deep zone...
What you guys recommend me?
I plan to use the following Formations:
A) 2 WR, QB under center, RB and TE
B) 2 WR, QB under center, 2 RB(Split backs)
C) 4 WR Trips Bunch Formation(Heard its a good against man), Shotgun QB
D) 1 WR, QB under center, RB, FB and TE
Thanks for the help!

Coach: Some questions:
1) Is this tackle football with full equipment?
2) What are the dimensions of the field (how long/how wide?)
3) Must you have 5 players on the LOS, or only the 3 offensive linemen?
We'll be able to help a bit better if we know a bit more about the rules under which you are playing.
Also -- do you have one or more players who can reliably snap the ball in a shotgun formation?

1) Flag Football
2) 70 long and 35 wide, plus two 8-yard end zones.
3) 5 maximum(3 lineman + 2TE), the receivers need to be at least 5 yards apart.
We have a good center and he can reliably snap the ball in a shotgun formation. Do you think its better to have more shotgun formations?
Thanks!

I have quite an extensive flag playbook- but some of our formations only have 1 lineman (the center). Do the rules specify 3 linemen?

Yes, you must have 3 lineman on offense and 2 on defense.

i guess that screams for an A8 Playbook, don't you all think? and if it is flagfootball you have to have a wide open offense anyway if i'm not mistaken... i have a playbook for 8man with the following system:  |

Yes, you must have 3 lineman on offense and 2 on defense. Ok- are the linemen eligible at all? Is it only required that they line up initially as linemen, or are we looking at traditional football rules- i.e. ineligible linemen unless uncovered, etc. And actually, Coachweigelt, we do run an A8 occasionally- along with double trips, overload trips, diamond, 6pack, max protect, standard slot, double slots, and single and double wings formation. |

We base our entire 8-man flag football playbook around 1 formation, 2 SE's and 2 WB's with QB in shotgun. We use arc motion to run iso, sweep, and option with counters, PA passes, and screens off each. Our passing game isn't very extensive because we normally just use quick patterns with the SE's and WB's, slant/shoot, fade/seam, hitch/seam ect. Also, most teams overreact to motion by bringing the OLB with it leaving the backside slant wide open, and if they don't adjust right to motion, then you outnumber them playside.
In our league everyone is eligible for a pass so we just stick our TE in at OT every once in a while to give our OT's a break and also sneak in a pop pass.
Might not be what you are looking for, but we have almost the exact same team structure as you do, strong solid OL's, good TE, athletes at WB's and a QB that is still coming along.

Where can I find A8 Playbooks? Ask Kurt, he is on this board. I'm sure he is willing to help you out and since Lineman are potential passcatchers that sounds like a fun offense!! ;D |

They are not potential passcatchers...
