T-Formation

T-Formation
The T-formation is one of American football's basic and most versatile offensive formations. In this formation, the tackles, guards, and centre align to protect the quarterback, while the ends line up on the outside to block or receive a pass. The halfbacks and fullback line up behind the quarterback in preparation for a possible handoff.
