It's players in an offensive formation. first number: running back. second number: tight ends.

So, 11 Personnel is 1 RB, 1 TE?

12 = 1 RB 2 TE; 13 = 1 RB 3 TE; 22 = 2 RB 2 TE, etc.

Football has 11 players on each side. It’s a lot easier if you can sneak in 12.

And down-right impossible for the other team if you play 22!!

You need to know enough to know what the actual problem is AND what the actual potential solutions are for that problem.

00 Personnel is no QB/TE's?

EM_Puma

Sep 4, 11:15am

no RB, no TEs. Basically 5 WRs.

Captain Stubing

Sep 4, 11:18am

We call that "Empty"

SJS

Sep 4, 11:21am

But "Empty" could still involve TE's correct? It just means no RB's IIRC

EM_Puma

Sep 4, 11:32am

The tight end would be split out wide, like a receiver, in an empty set.

Rise Against

Sep 4, 4:03pm

“Empty” originally referred just to an empty backfield. Ie. No running backs, but could still have attached tight ends

The numbers indicate in order # of Running Backs then # of Tight Ends
