Capital I formation

The capital I formation is the power offense. It consists of the quarterback, full-, half- and running backs standing directly into one vertical line. This formation looks like the capital letter I. Mind you, its official name is the stack I. Coaches recommend using the split end on the open side. But the strategy has a dark side as the defense will discover it in the double tights conditions. Wider splits and fake signals from the quarterback are keys to developing a powerful attack.
