Motion To Unbalanced Formation Edge
The use of unbalanced formations is becoming so popular in football that it is almost the norm. Offenses understand that lining up in these oddball formations force a defense to know the rules of football. An unbalanced formation can also force a defense to communicate. Especially when you motion to an unbalanced formation edge like we are going to show you today.
