An old school one here, the original formation the veer offense was run out of (popular in the 40s/50s, with Mizzou, Oklahoma and Alabama) and what turned into the modern Wishbone.

Split T formation:

Looks like our current wishbone, but replacing WR2 with TE1:

WR1 ......... LT LG C RG RT TE1
.......................... QB
.......................... FB
.................... HB1 .. HB2

In RZA terms, currently only the Big I lets us target the TE without going over the middle. This would add a second option.

Pistol formation 4 WR (PF4)

OTL OTR OGL OGR OC QB WRL WRL2 WRR WRR2 FBC

Reasons: -
1) Offers another FB based formation
2) More run friendly formation than SG4
3) FB offers slightly less protection to the QB than SG4
4) FB has a slightly better rush Avg. than SG4

Also, if allowed...
OTL OTR OGL OGR OC QB WRL WRR TER FBL HBR
So an offset FB lining up next to QB.

From Season 24 on Flexbone will be executed like Wishbone, and is kept here for compatibility of playbooks only

The way I understand it is that the formation will begin looking like the wishbone formation, but with the HB's moving to the OT position's after the snap.

Would like to see this added. Like an inverted Big I

Simple Defense Formation to be able to defend (and blitz) properly against SG4, like 3-3-5 but with two extra CBs instead of the two FS; the SS becomes the FS.

CB......DE......NT......DE......CB
...CB...OLB...MLB...OLB...CB
....................FS

DER DEL NT MLB OLBR OLBL CB1 CB2 CB3 CB4 FSC

Looks like this one could be as dangerous as 3-1-7, maybe even more danger. I'm not sure if it is an good idea to add such "nearly no inner DBs" formations to the list

In football, I believe that tight ends are some of the most useful players on a football offense at any given time. They're big enough to be good blockers and good enough at recieving to warrant the defense's attention.

Don't get me started on the Two Tight End Set either... but here we go! Not sure if already posted, but this is my school's Jumbo Formation Package. With... FOUR TIGHT ENDS! Or three... depending on the situation.

"Jumbo, Jumbo, Jumbo! Pistol Jumbo Three!" - Jumbo meaning Goaline package with multiple tight ends. (Multiple meaning > 2) For the sake of demonstration, we can use just three Tight Ends.

- - - - - - TE1 TE2 LT LG C RG RT TE 3
WR 1
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - QB
- - - - - - - - - - - - ----HB/FB

Obviously, you have three tight ends, you're going to run the ball with the three tight ends blocking... right? Well, no, not really! It's a balanced formation because tight ends are eligible receivers too!
