I’ll make a glossary at the end of the thread when someone adds something. Anyone who disagrees or thinks we need an edit, show me where i made a mistake and I’ll come by to fix.

There are only a few of us here, so it’s easy enough to use a common football language so we can talk about what happened and not have to use so many damn words to try to describe something.

Glossary of Terms

When talking about the side a play went, we say:
-“Playside” when referencing things that happened on the side of the field the play was executed
-“Backside” when talking about the opposite of playside.

Receivers are labeled 1, 2, 3 starting from the outside (sideline) going inward toward the QB.
-If three eligible are lined up on the right (and the play went right) it’s 1, 2, or 3 receiver “playside”
-If two eligible are on the left side (and the play went right) it’s 1 or 2 receiver “backside”

When talking about formations we say:
-1 by 3 if there are 4 eligible on the line and there is 1 on the left and 3 on the right.
-The first number is the left side and the second is the right side.
-Example: 2 by 2 would be two eligibles on the line to the left and 2 to the right.
-If a player on the right motions from a 2 by 2 formation, we would say motioned from a “2 by 2” to a “3 by 1” since one player moved from right to the left.
