ADDITIONAL INFO
Playbook: Miami Dolphins
Formations: Gun Split Close Pro, Gun Split Close, IForm Close, Strong Close
IMPORTANT NOTE
Every single setup in this offense is going to be STRONG SIDE to SHORT SIDE. If the ball is on the right hash – your TE should be on the right side & vice versa.
Hash Info / Play Design
All of the setups in this ebook are designed with the STRONG SIDE to SHORT SIDE. The easy way to remember this is your TE should always be on the same side as the ball. (Right Hash = TE on right)
