A-11 offense in football

By Tangotiger, 02:04 PM

Seems like a good idea for lower-level leagues:

The A-11 base sets use two quarterbacks lined up at least seven yards from the line of scrimmage. A center, bracketed by two tight ends, comprises the three-person offensive line. Six receivers are split wide. On a given play, only six men are eligible to receive a downfield pass. But because all players can become eligible by wearing jersey numbers 1-49 or 80-99, the defense is left to guess at who is going downfield on each snap.

“We’re doing futuristic football,” Humphries said. “We’re doing football where every play is innovative, and that’s why people find it fun to watch. It’s fun to play. Every player has the potential to be a part of almost every play.”

And a website too!
