How to See Football No. 3-PUNT FORMATIONS By JERRY BRONFIEU) NAK Service Spoils Kdllor A good punt formation is a valuable adjunct to an offense It seldom if ever is employed us the basic formation but comes in fo a lot of use. To increase the degree of deception, the setup usually will use a balanced Ihie to make it appear as though the man in kicking position really is going to punt.

The ends are split wide, enabling them to go down on a punt or get nwny fast for a pass. In the modofied punt used a little more than the regular punt kicker, or No. 3 back, lakes a spot about seven yeards lo the rear oflhc center. The No. 2 and No.

3, or No. 4 back then continues wide around end while the guards and the No. 1 back pull out to block. In the regular punt formation the tailback is usually about 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage, and instead cf the No. 1 back taking a spot outside his tackle he comes up close, just in front fthe No.

2 back. This forms the ideeal blocking set-up if the kick iscalled. It is almost as effective offensively as the modofied punt One of the big threats of the punt formation is the opporunity for a lateral pass. It can be engineered by the No. 4 or No.

2 back lateraling to the tailback as they sweep an end. tailback, is far enough to the to punl or pass and may run. This opens the wny for fake kick plays in which the ailback allows the ends to rush in and then circles them He may hand the'ball' to the No. 4 back coming around behind him.
