Help with my perceived depth chart...

so wait, then if each side is to mirror the other, then does this mean that we won't be running a TE set at all? I'm just confused with what makes this offense different than in the year's past besides having a different terminology

The difference is pretty simple. The o-linemen won't set up according to left and right. They will set up according to which side of the formation is the strong side and which side is the weak side. So the play is always blocked the same by the same people regardless of which side it happens to go to.

ohhh, assuming we always run to the strong side? which hopefully it won't be that obvious haha.. but alright, i get the point now... so it is "strong" b/c of the lineman that are there, not b/c it has more blockers..

Normally it would be strong according to where the TE lines up. Usually if the formation is blanced with 2 TEs or no TEs, the right side would be the strong side by default.

You can put two TE's out there.

You can get a rough idea by counting heads.

You have 5 OL's and a QB in the middle. That leaves 5 other guys. Generally speaking, the strong side is the side where the most of those guys line up.

I think maybe they don't count the backs in some systems. .

An unbalanced line is almost always called strong to the side of the covered end.

Better explanation than I could do.

Let me clarify: a 2 TE set with both TEs covering DEs is never weak nor strong

You could obviously have both TE to one side, and that's the strong side.

I guess technically in the 2 TE set if one side of the field had more WRs, then that side would be strong.

Maybe I don't understand it that well...but it seems like this approach would at least hint at whats coming if not flat out give it away...

I know a team doesn't always run a play to the strong side...but at the least you are saying "this is our strong side"...

It seems to me that any decent coach who can analyze game film of us would be able to pick out tendencies alot easier that way...If you stay with right and left then an opposing coaching staff couldn't say "Alright...R. Foster is on this side so that means...." because he would always be on that side...

But if you go with strong and weak designations where lineman switch sides accordingly then I would just about guarantee that no matter how hard we tried we would inevitably have tendencies towards certain plays based off of that strong and weak designation...

It seems more complicated and much more telling of what we're trying to do that way...but I guess this is one more thing that i will just trust the experts on

It hasn't hurt UGA's offense the past couple of years.

keep in mind a lot of clawson's offense calls for shifts...so you may have TE's moving one side to the other making the defense make a decision.

also consider that in our traditional offense, we pulled O linement on a lot of our running plays. with adding the full back back in to the mix and having these shifts or line ups designating strong side/weak side, it actually gives us a lot more options, and it makes the backside dangerous....if you remember, last season most of our best runs came on cutbacks, especially AF's.

i can see where a lot of the formations they may run out of these sets call for misdirection type stuff.

basicaly having the ablity to go multiple directions out of the same formation with the same personnel, run or pass......

i think it's going to be interesting one way or the other.
