    Lightbulb Possibly significant finding ?

    I was scrolling through the shotgun normal slot plays in the miami playbook,and I happened to notice that in a few plays the back lines up on the wrong side of the formation.I don't know if this has ANY meaning whatsoever,just noticed and wanted to pass it on.
    And all that is now,
    and all that is gone,
    and all that's to come,
    and everything under the sun is in tune......

    But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

    is it an offset formation?

    No.Most of the plays in the book have the back lining up on the right.
    If you look through the book,all of a sudden the back is lined up on the left.

    I don't think it's of any major importance. For example, the same thing happens in Singleback sets, sometimes the HB lines up in the middle, sometimes off to the left, ( or right if the play is flipped). Also, some shotgun sets have what's called Off set weak, where the HB lines up on the weak side instead of the strong side.

    This has been around for awhile in Madden. It's pretty cool in my opinion. The Rams for example have the Shotgun 4WR set with a slot on the ball, but they also have plays in this formation where the both slot receievers are off the ball. The samething with Seattle's Pro Normal. A few of the plays have both backs in two point stances and others call for the backs to align in a 3-point stance.
