Mesh out of RB Bunch

Formation into the Boundary (FIB) when operating at Tempo makes it very difficult for the defense to align. It’s even more effective if you can “hide” the formation. Oregon aligns in a formation that Carolina Panthers’ Defensive Coordinator Phil Snow refers to as “Clump” or RB Bunch. This is when you align the RB to the side of a condensed set giving access to all of your Bunch Concepts. They are able to run Mesh and win on a leverage Wheel from the RB.

  • X Receiver Cut Split Alignment - becomes the “Point” of the Bunch

    • Run the Sit Route over the Ball

  • H-Back and Slot run Mesh

  • Z Receiver runs 12yd Out

  • RB release for Leverage Wheel

    • The ball is thrown when the RB wins Leverage

Getting to Bunch Concepts with a RB is a great addition to any Pass Game. If you can pair it with Tempo you have a chance to take advantage of misalignment. Throughout the game, if the defense begins checking FIB to a Clump or RB Bunch alignment it can open up opportunities to the Field!
