Two weeks ago, we talked about how you use base formations to attack defences and what you look for. There are also a lot of other things that you can look to do to affect defenders. Lets talk about some of the other alignments offences throw at the defences they face. Bunch - An alignment of receivers or backs that usually is aligned with a receiver called the point man, who aligns on the line of scrimmage usually within five yards of the offensive tackle. Two more Receivers are aligned on either side of the point man, usually one yard deeper. Bunch can provide issues for defenders to play against. *X Receiver (unshown) lines up outside the numbers on the opposite side of the bunch. One of the biggest reasons to use bunch is to set up a pick and attack man coverage. By aligning three receivers next to each other, it forces the defence to cover them in a confined space or a small area of the field. Offences will run pass patterns that have the ability to pick off or impede one of the defenders from covering one of the patterns. The defender is either forced to go higher or over the top of the receiver that is picking as well as the defender covering him, giving the intended receiver space to be open. Sometimes defenders cannot get through and are picked off and do not cover the intended receiver at all. S or Sam cant get through the man coverage to cover the W receiver. Another reason to use a bunch is to stop defenders from playing press man coverage and forcing them to switch or banjo in man coverage. Because of the problems of being picked off when teams play man to man they have to adjust their man coverage. The defence will play man to man but in order to not get picked off, they will actually cover the pattern that comes to them and not cover the receiver who they are aligned over.They will switch with the other defensive backs, and take the player that comes to them so as not to get picked off. An example of a switch between the corner and the Sam to avoid a pick. Offences like bunch formations to encourage defences, especially ones that play man, to have to switch coverages. When defences switch in man, they sometimes can be put in positions where they dont have the leverage needed to cover. Good offensive teams know how to use switching to their advantage. They will get defenders on the wrong side of the route, or inside aligned on an outside breaking route. Offence looks for defence to switch to get leverage on Sam. Z runs a corner route with the break outside creating further separation. Bunch also gives teams the ability to condense the formation and get a leverage advantage in blocking angles. Oftentimes teams will use the point man to block down on the defensive end and try to seal the defence off in order to get the ball outside. You often see CFL teams running a toss play to the bunch side and trying to outflank the defence. Many teams will also use one of the slots of the bunch to come across and block on the backside of run plays. W, Y, Z all block defensive backs, while the right tackle seals the edge to get tailback outside. The bunch also allows teams to use receivers as pass protectors close to the line of scrimmage to be included as part of the protection schemes. W stays in to provide protection for the quarterback. Z runs a 10-yard in route, Y runs a go pattern. Offences will also align with two tight ends on either side of the offensive line. The tight ends are eligible receivers and route runners or pass protectors for the passing game and blockers in the run game. This formation is great to be able to help with pass protection. It forces defensive ends to play inside the tight end and not be able to move outside with as much space as they want to rush the passer. The tight ends can also chip or hit the defensive ends on their way out on their routes. Lastly, they can also stay in as an extra blocker to help with protection. Two TE set. Single tailback lines up behind QB (not pictured). In the run game, the extra tight end on the line of scrimmage creates another seam or surface for offences to be able to run at or through. Defenders are forced to make sure that they can cover these extra areas or gaps on the line of scrimmage with extra defenders. With two TEs and a back, the defence will usually counter with eight defenders in the box area. With that many defenders covering the box area, you have less defenders that can play coverage exclusively. It allows for fewer coverages in general that offences can see. Right tackle blocks the right end, freeing the FB to block on the second level. Teams also like to employ unbalanced formations to their advantage. Unbalanced is when one of the offensive lineman moves from his original alignment to the other side of the center. This creates extra gaps for the offence and often is difficult for defences to align to. The offence is hoping to get better blockers at the point of the attack of the run game, while also hoping that the defence does not adjust to the unbalanced player. If the defenders overplay to the unbalanced line, then the offence can run to the back side of it. The tight end, centre, unbalanced guard and fullback all move to block on the second level. Q is left unblocked as the run is to the right side. Some of these wrinkles to base formations create a lot of things that a defence has to prepare for each week. These wrinkles can take up a lot of the practice time and when utilized in the games can create the game plan match up an offence needs to be successful. Retro Air Jordan 1 OG Chicago White Mens .
