huskerlex Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 How about we talk about what the thread is about? You can't have a 4-back set in football. You have to have 7 men on the line of scrimage. You've got 5 linemen, and either 2 TEs or a TE and a WR or 2 WRs. That leaves only 4 players in the backfield including the quarterback. Aside from the impossiblility of a 4-back set, I really doubt Coach C will even use any 3-back sets. The original WCO was made to work out of only single-back sets and the modern versions, though they aren't only singlebacks anymore, don't usualy use more than 2. Look at some 3-back sets: TE T G C G T TE _____QB _HB_____HB _____FB TE T G C G T TE _____QB _____FB _____HB _____HB The defense is basically forced into putting 8-9 guys in the box, simply because all of your players are there, and is pretty ineffective in any offense other than a power-option. Thank you. I appears that you "get it." Quote Link to comment
1enolcyc Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Good luck with that. While you are running in circles with your "4 back set" We will be running down your throats with Hicks and our wr juking your poor defense with a TD throw from Meyer. One of those boys will be finalest in the Hiesman. Quote Link to comment

Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, but isn't the quarterback considered a "back?" Hell, I'd consider the Wishbone a 4 back set! I think it's unlikely in the WCO, but hell, with Glenn playing H-Back, I don't see how a 4 back set is unrealistic. Quote Link to comment

NU fan in Denver Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 If ur talking about 4 rb's in the backfield, it can't happen, gotta have 7 on the los. If your just talking about using all 4 backs at the same time, it is possible. Lucky out at wr and glenn at an Hback. Not very likely though, I think we have better personell to fill the wr and hback/te roles than to be plugging rb's in different positions. Quote Link to comment

When you're talking about single-, 2- and 3-back sets, no the quarterback is not considered a back. Because you are always going to have a quarterback and you don't need to explicitly say that. Like I and Denver said, 4s are an illegal formation and I really, REALLY doubt you'll see 3-back sets. Btw, the wishbone is a 3-back set. Quote Link to comment
Asa Francis Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 It's only going to work if we get Lawson on the field. LOOK FOR HIM TO HAVE A BREAKOUT YEAR. Quote Link to comment
StuckinChicago Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Marlon Lucky will line up in the slot a few times this year, which would make him a receiver for that particular play, so I guess you could have all four guys on the field at once, but why? Maybe Glenn playing fullback, Jackson at I-back, and Lucky in the slot, but not this year. Quote Link to comment
RedSockPuppett Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I think Glenn is more of the prototypcial "H-back" in this offense. Line him up at TE, have Ross and BJax as split backs in the Pro Set with Lucky in the slot...all four backs on the field. Put Leon in at WR and you've got five backs on the field.

There is no slot reciever in pro set if you have a TE. Quote Link to comment
RedSockPuppett Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Sorry, I editied that thing like three times trying to make the numbers work out. Lucky and Leon could be wideouts, with everything else the same. Quote Link to comment

I think that's asking a little much of the kid. Quote Link to comment
