I have been looking for a diagram sheet or a manual that shows different offensive formations. I want to find something that shows Ace, Kings, Queens, Jacks, and spread and proflex formations or better yet, EVERYTHING! Thanks for the help.
Firstly these formation names mean different things to different teams but I'll give you what they mean to me. (King/Queen are tags for Near/Far and as is Flex and can be applied to multiple formations. Spread and Ace are formations.)
Ace:
....................E T G C G T E.................................
S...........................Q.............................S
...............................
.............................B
Twins - King: In the pistol it would describe what side of the QB the FB would align to as well.
E......................T G C G T E................................
..........S..................Q..............
...................................F
..............................B
Twins - Queen: In the pistol it would describe what side of the QB the FB would align to as well.
E......................T G C G T E................................
..........S..................Q..............
.........................F
..............................B
Spread: I've seen it used to describe 3 wide / 4 wide / 5 wide formations of all types.
E......................T G C G T................................E
..........S..................Q......................S
...................................
..............................B
Pro-Flex (Flex can be applied to any formation with a tight end although I've heard it used to flex the slot out beyond the split)
E.....................T G C G T......E..............
............................Q..................S
............................F
............................B
Hope the alignment of this stuff holds up oh and never heard anyone use the term "jacks" to describe a formation. Although I'm sure people have. People use everything.
