For sure. I like the post-snap Orbit you can get to because they’re so close. Good for holding back-side defenders, end arounds, and flat control on deeper play action concepts
@@billycougar3378 Sure! They’re traditional West Coast formations, along with North and East. The latitude directions (West and East) explain the F’s relationship with the Y on the strong side. The longitudinal directions (North and South) explain the F’s relationship with the X on the weak side. The coaching point I was taught by an NFL OC that coached these in the 2000s was think about the temperature in each of these regions across the country. In the East and North, it’s cold, so the F wants to be inside. In the West and South, it’s warm, so the F wants to be outside. Pair the inside/outside with the strong/weak stacks, and you get this: North: F inside the 5 yd split X South: F outside the 5 yd split X West: F outside the Y (TE/Wing set) East: F inside the Y (essentially a sniffer inside a 3 yd split Y)
Theirs and my formations use directions, so to flip it, it would just be South LT instead of South RT. To put the F in the strong side slot, that’s Trips, and if you want the tight split X, it would be Trips RT/LT Tight
Good stuff. Really like condensed sets. Great Playaction opportunities as well

Great Stuff here!!! Please continue to use The Diagrams, they help tremendously with understanding it all!!!👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏💯
Love your diagraming! Can you share the word association with "South" and "West" please?

What would the formation at 12:28 be called? South? What if you flipped it?
What if you moved F over to opposite slot giving a 3X1 look?

I just watched your other formation video. Good stuff Coach!
