Just make sure the splits between your linemen are adequate. It might give a new meaning to the "sniffer" offense. ;D

Definately legal, but I wouldn't base my offense on it. Maybe run it once to catch them off guard. Chances are your QB is going to get blasted the second time you run it.

Sorry boys, but I think that's an illegal formation.
Unless I'm mistaken (which i could be) I think that a player on the line of scrimmage has to be facing his opponent's goalline with his shoulders somewhat parallel to.
Again, I may be wrong, but I think that this is an area that was discussed when doing away with the fumble-rooski was the talk. My money is on that being an illegal formation.

If legal, wouldn't it tip the defense off to where the play is going. Seems to be one dimensional. Would be tough to run left.

what happens when the DL slants to their left (your right) based on how you line up?
Oopy!

Found this on the NFHS rules website.
66. One of the requirements for A1 being on the line is that A1 face his opponent's goal line with shoulders approximately parallel thereto.

Coach: That rule came from the early 50's Syracuse formation where the Center lined up facing the offensive backfield so he could act as "playmaker" and distribute the ball anywhere he wanted...a bit of an affront to the Nose Guard, though... ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Really. That's interesting--pretty ingenious to do that really. Thanks for the story.

By having the OL facing the right sideline the defense is thinking the play is going that direction. I see a nice naked boot play off of it.

Necessity is the mother of all invention, but boredom is dead beat dad of invention. Doesn't appear very useful, but we wouldn't be here without him.

Isnt there a rule that the men on the LOS have to have their heads breaking the plane of the center's hips? That could be a problem now that the head is farther back.
and by the way, that is one big ole QB you got there.

No . linemen have to be facig opponent. We had a 50 yard td run in a championship game called back for having the SE facing that way and cracking.
