Football 101: The X/Z Wide Receivers + Number System

Breaking down how to classify wide receivers in a formation by letter and numbers.

Ross Tucker is the greatest. I have watched so many videos trying to understand illegal formation. Ross explained it simply with excellent examples and video. Ross is the goat.

Haven't seen a second of the video and already know it's pure gold. Please keep this type of content coming.

Really appreciate this man, didn’t come from a football family and I started playing pretty late. A lot of calls and plays didn’t make much sense but these videos are super useful and applicable.

Thanks Alex!! Can you do a video about the "Mike" vs. "Will" LB? That's always confused me, especially in our 3-4 system. Some plays it seems like Bush was the Mike but then others it was Jack

[kinkaly]

This was very helpful! I'ev watched a lot of football over the years but never thought so thoroughly about the strategy of play calling until now!

You need more subs you always give a good analogy.

[eugee]

You are the best, Alex! Love this type of videos!

[krrk]

Really appreciate the Football 101 video, Alex! Could you do a Football 101 video on the different type of secondary coverages - e.g. Cover 0, Cover 1, Cover 2, Tampa 2, Cover 3, Quarters, Quarter Quarter Half, Cover 5, etc.? Thanks!

the strong side is where majority of the numbers are, if its a 2x2 set the strong side is whichever side the rb is aligned on.

You’re keeping me sane rn keep on going brotha

Hey man love your videos and appreciate all the time you put into them. Been subbed for a while and enjoy your breakdowns. Quick question; where did you get some of the college all 22 film you used. I saw videos of guys like Josh Downs and I’m just wondering where you’re able to get that film? Thanks

[terrybradford]

Thanks Alex! Do you think you could do some defensive formations and what they’re strengths and weaknesses are?

[jonathans]

Great video, and breakdown as always, Alex. Have a question that I've thought about some, will Pickens have to become the XWR if ever wants to be an elite WR1? Seems to be the trend for most of those guys.

[khor]

ALEX!!! Can you make a sort vid on why KP8 struggled with Zone? Can be short one it don’t matter, plz n ty! 🙌🏼

[byronnelson]

With the receivers the Steelers have they should use a four wide formation with a RB or TE as the fifth option.

[TheGbelcher]

ngl I seriously thought they labeled them X/Y to map to the controller buttons

[tristanstone]

Great Video @Alex K. I will leave Steeler Fanatics with this. The Owners want Defensive Coaches and Will run the ball so Spare the OC's it get's old if you do not know, Now you do They love to Run the Football. Just listen to Bill Cowher on Ben's far too long podcast. 🤣🤣

Ok x is to the strong side yes z to the weak side good info just need to clean up the football terminology. For people that are learning so they can speak to the game play properly.
