Football position question

That formation has actually become fairly common among NFL teams. Several of them will line up in that set and motion one of the fullbacks to a wing position, leaving an offset-I with a wing or flanker (depending on how far he motions). That way the defense isn't tipped off which side the fullback will be on. On occasion, they'll run the play without the motion, leaving both fullbacks in place.

Obviously, it's not a base formation, but some teams will use it several times a game.

 

I get H-back, flanker and slotback confused all the time.

 

A good H back is gold in the spread. Off Coordinators love the H - You can line him up anywhere. He is really a combination FB / TE.

 

In our high school system, the belly, the quarterback was the 1, the left halfback the 2, the fullback the 3, and the right halfback the 4.
So the two basic plays were the 34 belly (fullback to the 4 hole, between the right guard and right tackle) and 35 belly (opposite). Could still run them in my sleep.
