Magic 3 Formation

[catcher_0_3]

Has anyone attempted to create a Magic 3 formation?

If you're not aware of what the Magic 3 is, it's more theory than practice at this point. It's the idea that a formation that incorporates 3 TEs all to the strong side of a formation, one wide receiver on the backside and one running back puts the defense in a philosophical conundrum. Where do you align your LBs? Do you take a corner out? Do you drop a safety down? So on and so forth.

I'm thinking there's some tight trips formations that could set me down the right path and then I could sub in TEs for WRs.

Single back, jumbo pair. Has 3 tight ends on one side, wide receiver on the other. I think it's in the pats playbook, but not 100% sure. I know it's available for a custom playbook.

Yup, it's in the Pats playbook.

And yes most people use it to some extent because the HB Counter is possibly the most deadly run in the game. Typically seeing this formation means the counter is coming.
