Hi. I’m reading some “how-to” materials on defense and so far none have discussed how to identify the strongside/weakside in offensive formations that have no Tight End. I guess it's something I'm suppose to know automatically but I don't.
If someone could throw me a bone on this subject, I'd appreciate it? Sure would help when it comes time to teach it. TIA.

Multiple reciever side, wide side, stud player side- lot of different ways teams will do it.

what we see is the defense often sets is 3 tech to the field side and 1 tech into the boundry. it is fairly standard this way.
in a 2x2 set for example the strong side would be to the side the back sets is you go strictly by the numbers.

Thanks guys. I was thinking maybe the board would think the question too simple to answer. Appreciate your time and input.

Coach, I've been in a few different systems, but my favorite progression (out of a 4-4) is:
1. To the TE
2. Double TE or no TE, the side with more receivers
3. Receivers balanced? Wide side of the field.
4. Balanced set and in the middle of field? To the QB's throwing hand.
Of course, this could be modified based on our tendency report, but it was pretty sound IMO.

If all is even, we call to field (or depending upon personnel) or we may call to strength in the offensive backfield.
Rules:
1. To Greater # of receivers
2. To back in backfield side
3. To field
4. To best offensive player

if it is trips then that is strong side
if they are balanced then wide side is strong side
if balls in middle of field then it is strong left(most teams are right handed)

when in doubt, wide side of the field is strong side

Usually we will go by scouting and breakdowns as far as determining the strength of any formation. If all things are even, we go to the field.

And if it is in the middle of the field and balanced we tend to call strong left because most teams are right handed.

2 TEs & Balanced set= Boundary call
0 TEs & Balanced set= Field call
Ball in the middle of the field & balanced set= Left call
3x1, 2x1, 3x2= Call to the most receivers
