    Offense playbooks with 6WR sets?

    Only once playing NCAA11 have I seen a 6 WR set, that formation I think was a shotgun double trips with 3 WR's in the bunch on each side of the field.

    Does anyone know which offensive playbooks have that 6WR set?

    Mizzou's "Monster" formation I believe is what it's called.

      Monster is not 6 WR's, there are 2 lineman out wide to block for the WR's on those screens.

        There are no legal formations with six WRs.

        First, someone has to take the snap, that makes him the "quarterback." I guess you could line a WR up as a QB though...

        Second, all legal formations must have seven players on the line of scrimmage. There is one player on each end of the line. The five players inside are "covered up" by the two on the ends of the line and are not eligible receivers. These are generally offensive linemen. While technically an offensive linemen doesn't HAVE to play in one of these spots, it's not an eligible receiver regardless.

        So, five offensive linemen and a quarterback, that leaves only five more positions. Five wide receivers is the maximum.

          South Carolina's playbook has the offensive tackles spread outside like receivers so it appears that there are only three offensive lineman.

          They ran the formation against me. I know SC runs it in real life on occasion but to see it in the game was pretty sweet...

          Yeah, no 6 WR sets...
          What?

              6 WR sets are illegal.

              The S.Carolina set is called "Emory & Henry." Sounds like Mizzou's is similar.

                Offense playbooks with 6WR sets?
                Only if a CFL game comes out.

                  You don't have to have 5-7 linemen, u have to have 7 men on the l.o.s., if u use the monster set or SC's E&H formation u can use formation subs to line up 6 Wrs, now the Wr that would be lined up where the tackles normally line up are ineligible but can still be Wrs and will show up as Wrs on the screen where it tells you the offensive personnel.

                    I said this.


                    You can put 6 WR on the field in LITERALLY any formation. Heck, you can put 11 WR on the field in any formation (even defensive and special teams formations).

                    It's a terrible idea though.


                    There is no possible way of getting more than 6 eligible receivers (and one of those eligible receivers is the quarterback...) on the field though. And if he's going to be blocking, I see no good reason to put a player with no blocking skills in the formation.
