Short Punt Formation
The short punt formation is an older formation on both offense and defense in American football, popular when scoring was harder and a good punt was itself an offensive weapon.Retyl, Richard U-M's Shotgun Offense is Older than the Winged Helmets Themselves Nov. 9, 2010. MGoBlue.com. Retrieved June 26, 2013. In times when punting on third down was fairly common, teams would line up in the short punt formation and offer the triple threat of punt, run or pass. ''Harper's Weekly'' in 1915 called it "the most valuable formation known to football." The formation is similar to the single wing and modern shotgun by including the possibility of a long snap from center. However, it is generally a balanced formation, and there are backs on both sides of the tailback, offering better pass protection. As a result, it was considered a much better passing formation than running, as the premiere running formation was the single wing. That said, it was regarded as a good formation for trap plays. ...
