Thanks for the articles. They are great. What would you do if you lined up in flex and #2 lined up on or outside the wr? What do you do on toss and what other plays are better? I know you haven't written the 42 defensearticle but I'm thinking of a 44 defense with the olbs on the line in front of the wrs. Thanks.

To be honest, we don't see them widen #2 that much against us in a compressed formation. If they did, my answer would be that it depends on the defense...against a 6-1, if #2 lines up that wide, they are going to struggle to stop Mid Double and Zone Dive inside. Same thing with a 50 defense. My guess is that's why you don't see those defenses line up with #2 that wide. They will adjust their coverage to take care of it and normally bring their CB's into a Cover 2 look.

The few times that teams have widened #2, we've hit them with Mid Double and Play action pass off of Toss action.
