Utilizing the Over Formation to Make the One-High Safety Defense Declare Themselves

December 26, 2017

Over Formation- This is the formation utilized versus one-high safety defenses to force the defense to declare themselves.  The alignment is the same as the spread formation with the exception of the Backside Receiver splitting the difference between the Formation-side Tackle and the Formation-side Receiver.

If the defense does not bring a defender from the Backside to the formation-side to match numbers, go Over Brown.

Over Brown. This formation is utilized to throw four verticals when the defense does not bring a full-man over to the Over side.

Over Brown Right, Vert Right. If the Defense does not want to bring an extra man over to the OVER side, walk the backside A-Back up, walk the Middle Receiver back, and run four verticals.
