Hole Assignments and player
numbering are critical for this offensive play system. The numbering is used
to assign who will be the main ball carrier and where the play will go. The
following rules apply to this play system:
- Even numbered holes are to the RIGHT of the center.
- Odd numbered holes are to the LEFT of the center.
- The 1-Back is the QB.
- The 2-Back is Halfback (or Tailback)
- The 3-Back is the Fullback and lines up on the strong side. Again,
there are exceptions to the rule, such as an I-formation, where the 3-Back
lines up behind the Fullback
- The X-receiver is always on the LEFT side of the field. The Z-receiver
is always on the RIGHT side of the field. There are exceptions to this
rule, such as , trips formation, where both the X and Z are on the same
side.
The Y-receiver lines up depending on the play call. The Y receiver can be
either a slot back or a tight end, depending on the coaching style.
