So, 11 Personnel is 1 RB, 1 TE?

Yes

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

22 = 2RBs, 2 TEs

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!!

Sometimes depends how big those 22 are

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

Yup. Usually one close but LES. At ASU too, but with the added issue that they’re drunk and yelling. The most cringe is

Basically his point is we generally want 3 WRs on the field because

JuicyJam

00 Personnel is no QB/TE's?

EM_Puma

9/4/24 11:15am

no RB, no TEs. Basically 5 WRs.

Captain Stubing

9/4/24 11:18am

We call that "Empty"

SJS

9/4/24 11:21am

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

EM_Puma

9/4/24 11:32am

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

Rise Against

9/4/24 4:03pm

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

mvtoro

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