Two QB NFL Flag Football Formation
There’s a fine line between creative and crazy when it comes to drawing up sound flag football plays. Your NFL Flag football formations can fall into this category too. Several years ago when we started venturing into the flag football playbook world we found out we had a lot to learn.
There are some rules that can make it complicated to design a creative flag football play. One of those rules is that when playing with NFL flag football rules, the quarterback can not advance the ball. In other words the player that receives the snap from center must either handoff or throw the ball.
It’s a good rule that is designed to prevent one player from taking over the game. However; it got us thinking about why an offense had to advertise who the quarterback was before the snap. We came up with a 5v5 flag football formation that we called “Split’ formation. It can be found in the flag football Find a Play section.
A Two Quarterback Offense Just Makes Sense With NFL Flag Rules
Fast forward years later and we now see multiple quarterbacks in the backfield at the college and high school level too. Even though the quarterback can advance the ball in these leagues, the two or three quarterback strategy has its merits. The main advantage is deception to confuse the flag football defense.
The Detroit Lions Ran Your Flag Football Hook & Ladder
When you combine that advantage with the fact that your NFL Flag quarterback can’t run the ball, it makes sense to use two quarterbacks. Why advertise who is going to take the shotgun snap from the center? Especially when good defensive coaches will rush to the QB’s throwing arm.
