Who Would be in Your Ultimate A-11 Starting Lineup?
As the game of football becomes more dynamic, faster and super spread out across the field of play, what type of players would fit best into your ultimate A-11 Offense?
- Would you use Two Quarterbacks in the shotgun and move them both around?
- Would you flood the field with game-breaking Wide Receivers and throw the football almost every single play?
- Would you use a Dual Threat QB coupled with a power Running Back in the backfield, and offer a more balanced approach? Or would you put a ‘water bug’ type at RB?
- What kind of player would you put at the Anchor position - a Hybrid more physical receiver type or a Tight End?
- How about at the Guard & Center spots? Would you use true Offensive Lineman, or a more versatile athlete that can block and make something happen with the football?
Over the last two years, it has been a lot of fun to hear from coaches, players and fans about who would fit into their ultimate A-11 Offense. For fun, we wanted to put this up for anybody wanting to build and display their own version of the A-11 Offense. Feel free to use any combination of Pro or Collegiate players to create your lineup.
Please check out one of our A-11 All Star teams.
We look forward to seeing yours in the "Comments" section below.
