How good is this formation? I try to be as off-meta as possible just of the sake of it but it's not exactly the same as running Gun Tight, right?
I'm just thinking this could be a good change up and would work well now that I have good depth pieces on my team. The runs involving the TE motion block could be lethal with Gronk, and with HRM I'm sure I could come up with some good route combos.
Its the same as tight , on old gen it has multiple one play beaters if the pass rush doesn't get home.
I like it...now depending on what playbook you run it from you are limited on an inside run. Chiefs have 01 Trap...but others have a "wham" which has the TE in motion prior to hand off...which would be a clue to your opponent you are about to "wham" them. The stretch is very nice...sets up nicely and allows to bounce to the outside or cut it up inside. Bench is a great play...if you have HRM put the HB on a Texas and exploit the middle if they commit to the outs / corners...balanced formation that allows you to switch the direction of a play without movement (does not key off your opponent). With HRM and a couple good TEs there is a ton of good things you could design from this formation. I would give it a test drive if I were you.

I'm on next gen so not sure if there's the same exploits.

Thanks for the info, I'll definitely give it a go. I have way too many good TEs lol: Gronk, Gates, and the OOP Fields card with free RT. I'll have to try a couple formations.
That stretch play is what got me looking at it primarily, just got James Cook and his juke move is super clean so I want to use it on an outside run scheme.

Hb wham is lethal with a power back and Gronk leading the way.I use henry in this formation.

AKA King Henry? I'll have to take a look at that.

Yes henry .GL.
I've faced it's pretty decent Hb wham with the Te in motion has killed me even in nickel

Yeah currently running 49ers playbook so I don't even have to switch playbooks. That HB Wham is going to be deadly with Gronk.
If you run Wham... Gronk with Vanguard knocks whatever DLineman he hits on his ass.

Definitely gonna try it. Already scheming up a “heavy set” with Gronk, Josh Allen WR, Robert Hunt WR, and Antonio Gates
