I did read that your's was only one system in use and that they all have their disadvantages.

Your (2) comment was the basis of my point. In the Fed official's manual, using a standard slot formation, they have BJ taking the split and either L or LJ taking the slot. This is where your presentation differs. You have BJ taking the slot and L or LJ taking the split. This obviously allows the official to cover the player closest to him but also limits the amount of time the L or LJ has to read the tackle and still keep the receiver in view. It seems to me that the manual may have assigned coverages based on that. The manual also has BJ always taking the end so to have consistency there (no exceptions).

But a good article and good discussion. This will help me better understand all of this really working the wings at a varsity level. The last six years at R have made me focus on other things. I was too green for that one year before that on the wings and we only worked 4-man anyway.
