Handyman Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Does anyone know if there is a legal formation that allows for (4) rbs in the NFL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy n Dirty Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 My guess would be no - between the QB and 4 RBs, that's 5 guys in the backfield, leaving only 6 on the line of scrimmage. I believe the minimum is 7 guys on the line of scrimmage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I think the best you can have is 3 like in the wishbone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Like the others have said, you must have 7 on the line I believe... so, technically, you could have 4 RBs on the field with one on the line of scrimmage ie a FB playing like a TE or an RB spred wide like Marshall Faulk does fairly often... that, or go with no "QB" and have 4 backs in the backfield.
