How do I figure out offensive personnel?
The magic number is always "5". The first number always tells you how many RB/FB are in the formation, the second number always tells you how many TE are in the formation. You figure out how many WR by adding up the two numbers and taking it away from 5.
Example:
11 personnel
1 RB 1 TE
1+1=2
5-2=3 You have 3 WR's in 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR)
It is just shorthand folks.
What does 3-3-5 or 4-2-5 mean?
Again it's just shorthand for the defense. The first number tells you how many DL there are, the second number tells you how many LB there are, the last number tells you how many DB there are (corners and safeties). Therefore 3-3-5 means there are 3 DL 3 LB and 5 DB in the game on that formation.
If you have 5 DB in the game, that defense is called "nickel"
If you have 6 DB in the game, that defense is called "dime"
Changes to the system
- Whether or not I think the front is a 3-4, 5-2 etc, I will now always label it "under"
- I will indicate if the ends are standing up in a 2-point stance (up) next to the technique. If their hand is on the ground, they will just be listed with their technique.
